I don't like the public API changes either, but if we assume that those can be
eliminated, are you against adding opus support to the native protocol? As far
as I can see, it's not possible to limit this to just the tunnel modules,
because they use the native protocol and the other end doesn't have any special
handling for tunnels, they are just normal client connections.

Even if we were to use GStreamer instead of libopus, I think the native
protocol would have to specifically support opus. We can't offload the codec
negotiation to GStreamer in the native protocol (in the RTP modules we might be
able to do that).

So, are you against any compression support in the native protocol or not?
