So let me get this straight... RTP and RTCP is broken and inflexible and 
therefore we must use it, and use it in the broken and inflexible way?

If anything this is an argument for ignoring RTP and RTCP and doing 
something entirely new that is actually appropriate for what we're 
trying to build, not living with crap just because there's an RFC for it.
