Re: Proposal: RtpListener for unsignalled ssrcs

One could use it to create an RtpReceiver to get a track to render.  This
is especially useful if we have the RTP header extension that allows the
app to include meta data so the receiver knows what to do with the media,
without the need for signalling ahead of time.  For some use cases, this
lowers the latency between when media is available and when the receiver
receives it, or can avoid clipping.

I'm sure there are other use cases, but this is one that matters to me.
 I've heard a lot of requests for this event, and I'm sure they're not all
my use case.
