Hi, Aurelien,
I think we're good on almost everything in your response.
On the SHOULD/MUST below, it could very well be OK to have this as SHOULD,
but we've been asking for some indication of reasons why SHOULDs might not
be implemented - which could be as simple as "there is a lot of deployed
code that didn't implement this, because it was a SHOULD in RFC 3551".
If you leave this as SHOULD, you might want to say something about the
effect on receivers, since conformant sender implementations aren't doing
something that the spec assumed they would be doing. In this case, you're
saying that the receiver can't look at the M-bit to identify the beginning
of a talkspurt, right?
If you get any other feedback about SHOULD/MUST here, please take that into
account, of course...
Thanks,
Spencer

Hi
Thank you for the review.
Below some answers.

3. RTP Header Usage
If DTX is used, the first packet of a talkspurt, that is, the first
packet after a silence period during which packets have not been
transmitted contiguously, SHOULD be distinguished by setting the M
Spencer (review): why not MUST here?
[AS] It is the wording from RFC 3551 (4.1).
It could be a MUST, but I saw no reason to be stronger than the RTP spec.
