Bug Description

Hi,

It would be great if empathy support RFC6189 (ZRTP) across the various protocols which support it.

Typically SIP and XMPP/Jingle since they both use RTP; just as having OTR for messaging is useful, having ZRTP is useful for confidentially of voice communications as well.

Thanks,
Anand

"In order to secure the data stream, implementations SHOULD use encryption methods appropriate to the RTP data transport."

Because emapthy don't use a secure connexion between client to client (like ZRTP)
