I can see why it would be useful to mandate rtcp-mux in the bundled
offer/answer, because it is more port-efficient, and the code that
handles the multiplexing and demultiplexing the constituent streams
only has to handle the case where the RTCP is multiplexed with the
RTP.

But it doesn't seem that there is much to gain by mandating rtcp-mux
in the first offer/answer, the one where actual bundling is not being
done.  All of the RTP/RTCP routing code that is active at that point
has to support non-rtcp-mux operation already.
