If it's not good enough you'd have to make it good enough. :)

FWIW, David and me pretty much agreed that it's a stupid idea to write
seperate RTP muxer/demuxer elements instead of providing src/sink pairs,
because the RTP element requires too much information about the
connection(s) and iirc RTP is bidirectional anyway - even if you
just listen to an RTP stream you need to send stuff. GStreamer streams
are not.

But as David said: a working method is much preferred to a perfect method.
