I agree that having automated tests would be useful for stability in the future.
I tested the patchset with both SRS and Millicast, and it worked well.

For automated testing, we could use FATE, but it needs an extra server with
protection and someone to keep it updated. Testing with paid services like
Millicast is tricky.

Another option is an external project for WebRTC testing, but the challenge is
keeping it maintained and compatible with changes in implementations.

External services might update their software, causing issues with tests. We
would need a plan for dealing with that.

For paid services like Millicast, we need to figure out who pays for the tests.
Understanding the costs is essential if we want to use paid services for
testing.

I'd like to hear your thoughts on these points and how you would propose to
proceed with adding tests for protocols like WebRTC.
