           Summary: libsrtp: Not possible to disable encryption
    Classification: Platform
           Product: GStreamer
           Version: 1.x
        OS/Version: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Normal

When using the srtp plugin in gstreamer it is not always known if the remote
side will support encryption when the local gstreamer pipeline is connected. 

This results in that one needs to have advanced logic to bypass the srtp
element, or rebuild the pipeline, if the remote side do not support encryption.

A nice solution to this would be if the srtp pluging could be configured to not
encrypt/decrypt the data going throught it.

One option would be to have this check in gst_srtp_dec_chain() and
gst_srtp_enc_chain(). It could be based on a new property or if the
keys/authetication information is set to NULL.
