Usage of the GstRTPHeaderExtension API

[Matthew Waters]

No. the only thing that matters is the caps to header extension mapping 
for the caps-to-header-extension vfuncs.  There is no requirement that 
there be any application involvement at all.

The rtp caps are typically used with SDP generation functions which 
depending on your header extension may requires some extra 
values/attributes/whatever in that SDP.
