You definitely want to carry the "configuration" parameter from Theora
(or Vorbis) in a  reliable channel, no in RTP. It can be pretty big (up
to 8k). And if you don't receive it entirely, you can't decode anything.
If you have the latest git of gst-p-good, it should be able to parse the
config from the stream. Btw, the same applies to Vorbis.


You also want to do the same thing for the sprop-* paramters of H.264,
especially sprop-parameter-sets (but its smaller there, so you can work
around that by resending it regularly with the config-internval property
of rtph264pay).
