Re: [rtcweb] The MTI Codec Questions (what to ask and how to ask them)

On of my biggest concerns with VP8 is the lack of alternatives, as 
libvpx has been quite unstable for a while (too many seg-faults if input 
was corrupted), but at least I had the ability to compile and use my own 
version. With Cisco binary, not only I don't have any free-alternative, 
but I can't even compile and use my own version! No way.
