Did you try the examples at
  https://cgit.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gst-plugins-good/tree/tests/examples/rtp

For example client-PCMA.sh and server-alsasrc-PCMA.sh are about
the simplest you can do with rtpbin while including RTCP.


How does it not work for you, can you check with wireshark if packets
are being sent and where, and with netstat if the applications are
listening on the right IPs/ports?
What could happen for example is that udpsink is sending to ::1 (IPv6),
while udpsrc is listening on 127.0.0.1 (IPv4) or the other way around.
