I try to set up a video call between a raspberry camera and a SIP terminal.
The SDP offer from SIP terminal is:
m=video 49224 RTP/AVP 122 123 34
a=rtpmap:122 H264/90000
a=fmtp:122 profile-level-id=64E00C;max-br=384
a=rtpmap:123 H264/90000
a=fmtp:123 profile-level-id=42E00C;max-br=384
a=fmtp:34 CIF=2 QCIF=2 MaxBR=2560
a=pri:HME,640*360,o,s3,s2

So I want to generate the H264 RTP stream with the right params.

I tried several profile, for example:
pi at raspberrypi ~ $ ffmpeg -f video4linux2 -i /dev/video0 -vcodec h264
-b 90000 -payload_type 122 -s 320*240 -r 20 -profile:v baseline -level
1.2 -f rtp  rtp://10.17.41.163:45900

But the video still not show on the SIP terminal.
