Voice over IP
=============
.. NOTE::
This section is a work in progress.
Matrix can also be used to set up VoIP calls. This is part of the core specification,
although is still in a very early stage. Voice (and video) over Matrix is based on
the WebRTC standards.
.. TODO Dave
- what are the event types.
- what are the valid keys/values. What do they represent. Any gotchas?
- In what sequence should the events be sent?
- How do you accept / decline inbound calls? How do you make outbound calls?
Give examples.
- How does negotiation work? Give examples.
- How do you hang up?
- What does call log information look like e.g. duration of call?
Call events are sent to a room, like any other event. This means that clients
must only send call events to rooms with exactly two participants as currently
the WebRTC standard is based around two-party communication.

Message Exchange
----------------
A call is set up with messages exchanged as follows:
::
Caller Callee
m.call.invite ----------->
m.call.candidate -------->
[more candidates events]
User answers call
<------ m.call.answer
[...]
<------ m.call.hangup
Or a rejected call:
::
Caller Callee
m.call.invite ----------->
m.call.candidate -------->
[more candidates events]
User rejects call
<------- m.call.hangup
