I digget i bit deeper in the firwall issue. It called "NAT traversal" or
"UDP hole punching". TO keep the hole in firewall/nat we need only send
empty udp packet.

So this will still reduce the traffic, but also keep as possible to keep
connection open. This is mach better then doing that what we do now.

So the scenario is like this:
1) speex recognize silence and setting GAP flag on the packet
2) current rtp, by default, will not send packets with GAP
 so it should be changed to produce keep alive packet or some thing
similar
3) we do not need to pack empty rtp packet in udp. We can just send
empty udp. So UDP should some how be noticed about it.
