Right, I understand now. This is certainly an avenue worth
investigating. I've looked a little at this, and it seems like it might
be a large task to wrap these things, and may require a lot of
rewriting, but if we can, its a big bonus. I expect you wont need to use
the planned payloader base class here, so all thats needed is for
encoders to output application/x-rtp-noheaders and encoders to take
application/x-rtp. If you find encoders want to output full RTP packets,
let me know =)

Best of luck,
