You can start by putting it to the misc. category. Do not bother you 
with such details - the category is purely a hint for the preference UI 
dialogs.

If you mean the Session Initiation Protocol, you will probably need to 
implement it as an interface/control plugin, so you have your own 
thread for signaling.

From there, you can spawn a demuxer and a muxer instance to 
en-/decapsulate codec data from/to RTP packets.
