[gst-devel] RTP Caps,base payloader and jrtplib

Hi,

not everyone uses rtpbin - it should be possible to retrieve the random
values chosen by the payload encoder so the application using it can
create the necessary session descriptions.

How does rtpbin do this ? It should probably be using the exact same
method - get them from the caps.
