What makes something a 'blessed way'? Are you looking for community support, large corporate users etc..? Not being snarky, curious about how people see the space. Lots of implementations exist and I have used most of them for different projects, not all these projects went to production though.

Lots of documentation and demonstrations. And honestly, probably a bit better SEO or maybe searching on my part. For some reason GStreamer's webrtcbin totally flew under my radar.

Also not trying to be snarky/negative about WebRTC. I think it's fantastic at what it does. But as a tinkerer, I want something with more tinkering surface area. Not to detract from the great work on WebRTC and how accessible it's made low-latency streaming.

WebRTC actually feels exceptionally tinkerable to me, with human(-ish) readable SDP offers, public RFCs, various implementations, and importantly it being accessible from JavaScript playgrounds right within the browser!

I've learned a lot about it over the years by following https://webrtchacks.com/, which does just that, i.e. taking apart various open and closed VoIP implementations (WebRTC or otherwise) and seeing how they work.
