Apart from RTP/AVP, there is also RTP/AVPF (and the RTP/SAVPF) defined
in RFC4585, that is basically the same as RTP/AVPF but with more
frequent rtcp feedback. That RFC also defines the extra "a:rtcp-fb"
media attribute... which could be added to the XEP. That said, I don't
know if anyone actually implements this or how useful it is.
