As a side note, SIP is a signaling protocol. It isn't

Nothing in SIP itself make it inadequate here, but the usual
toolchain that contains SIP is.
Well I am not aware of any actual service that uses anything else
but default SIP+SDP+RTP so it is more of a theory. SIP itself is
very flexible indeed and easily extended with non-standard
extensions if needed but with no actual implementation it is
hardly useful ;)
P.S. SIP itself is not even capable of connecting streams of
data, it encapsulates Session Description Protocol for it. Only
pure exchange of intentions.
