Pull request overview
This PR changes SRTCP inbound RTCP handling to split compound RTCP packets and forward the individual RTCP packets to the appropriate read streams, reducing downstream duplication when handlers subscribe broadly.
Changes:
- Update RTCP decrypt/forwarding logic to
Unmarshalcompound RTCP, then re-Marshaland forward each contained packet separately. - Add routing behavior for packets with empty
DestinationSSRC()(e.g.,rtcp.RawPacket) to be forwarded to the compound packet’s addressed SSRC set. - Add unit tests covering compound packet splitting, empty-destination forwarding, and decrypt error paths.

| File | Description |
|---|---|
| session_srtcp.go | Splits decrypted compound RTCP into individual packets and forwards them per-destination (with special handling for empty-destination packets). |
| session_srtcp_test.go | Adds tests validating per-packet forwarding behavior and error handling scenarios introduced by the new remarshal step. |

When a compound RTCP packet is received, it is forwarded as is to the read streams. Downstream components have to check for the SSRC in the packets matching the track(s) it is handling. This leads to situations where downstream components could see duplicate RTCP reports. Happens when there is a downstream handler for all SSRCs. It receives the compound packet, unmarshals it and invokes the handlers. As it is fielding all SSRCs, it will get the same compound packet `n` times and invoke the handlers `n` times. This PR splits up the compound packet and forwards individual packets to avoid the end handlers from seeing duplicates. API wise, it is compatible as it still emits an encoded/marshaled packet. But, this does add a marshaling step. Packets that have no destination SSRC of their own (e.g. unknown packet types parsed as rtcp.RawPacket, or receiver reports with no reception reports) are delivered to every stream the compound packet is addressed to, instead of being dropped. Such packets can still be seen once per compound packet by each of those streams, matching the old behavior. Add unit tests. Before this change, the compound packet test fails at the point where the test tries to read the CNAME packet and sees an incorrect type, and the empty destination SSRC test blocks forever waiting for the rtcp.RawPacket to be forwarded.
