Good idea. We were thinking of reserving the first two bytes "Op", which
is an invalid given the framing restrictions.

This ensures that the RTP payload format can both support a mode where it directly places Opus packets into an RTP payload, and also (if necessary) a mode where it add some additional framing or other transport-related data around them.
