           Summary: MediaSignalling: interactive transport negotiation
           Product: Telepathy
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: medium

>From my streamedmedia branch:

"""
There is currently no way for clients to influence the choice of transport: in
general, a client making a call can't know the capabilities of the streaming
implementation, or even which streaming implementation will be used (channels
will often be requested by an address book or similar application that will not
handle the channel itself).

If a mechanism for transport negotiation is added, it should be something that
happens after the request, but before calling Media.SessionHandler.Ready, so
that it is the streaming implementation that chooses the transport, rather than
the requesting client.
