The release notes are confusing:

> The old RTP implementation is still available as a compile time option
(--disable-gstreamer with Autotools or -Dgstreamer=disabled with Meson),

implementation should be considered experimental for this release

1. This contradicts the above quote.
2. If it's experimental, why is it enabled by default?
