What IVR situations can't just process the events out of the RTP stream
in order to find out what DTMF is being sent? I don't think this is a
compelling argument for either a) requiring clients to implement two
DTMF methods, or b) preventing DTMF interoperation between normal Jingle
and SIP endpoints unless the gateway does extra work.

I think 2833-compliant endpoints can still exchange telephony events
with 4733-compliant endpoints. It'd be pretty broken if that wasn't the
case. And it doesn't REQUIRE the use of SRTP, it just says this:

   To meet the need for protection both of confidentiality and
   integrity, compliant implementations SHOULD implement the Secure
   Real-time Transport Protocol (SRTP) [7].

When we can signal SRTP, we'll probably say the same kind of thing too. :D
