If it was me (and at one time, it was) I would use a protocol that allows for multiplexing and prioritization of media and data channels over the same secure session with shared congestion state. Over such a protocol, opening another data stream for this purpose could be done immediately without even a round trip.

RFC 7016 documents such an approach.
