I'm saying nothing of the sort.  We definitely need to define what
multiplexing looks like when it happens, but there's a vast gulf
between that and defining how to negotiate it.  Discussions on RTP
shims or SSRC mux did consume some time, but I believe them to be
done.  For quite a while now.

The negotiation part looks like it's nearing completion, but only
after a fairly significant amount of wrangling and pain.
