I agree, DTLS session should always be setup with "use_srtp" extension.
There is little or no additional overhead, but this removes the latency
required for a new DTLS session when and if SRTP is added. Since there is
no new DTLS session there is no need for a new underlying transport and
additional IPs. Nice and clean.

This should probably be stated somewhere in the document.
