Unfortunately I have no idea about the mediastreamer API either (it is
just one of the multiple dependencies of linphone, that's why we package
it). Judging from the way upstream is doing API changes they don't care
about users of their libraries outside of their own stack that much.
I've posted a call for help on the upstream mailinglist at
http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/linphone-developers/2018-05/msg00016.html
but I don't expect much of it.
Would it be an option for you to temporarily drop Jingle support until
this is resolved?
I think the VoIP maintainers team would also like to drop libsrtp0
before Buster, migrating to libsrtp2. Kopete/libjingle will also be a
blocker for this.
