You must use a name with small letters for your environment (tipa
activates the others)

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{xltxtra}
\newfontfamily{\ipafont}{Doulos SIL}
\def\useTIPAfont{\ipafont}
\newenvironment{ipa}{%
  \let\stone\TIPAstonebar
  \let\tone\TIPAtonebar
  \setTIPAcatcodes\activatetipa
  \csname useTIPAfont\endcsname
  }{} 
\begin{document}
\textipa{RPAQIOE} % This will give you correct phonetic characters
\begin{ipa}
RPAQIOE
\end{ipa}

\end{document}
