Well I am not aware of any actual service that uses anything else 
but default SIP+SDP+RTP so it is more of a theory. SIP itself is 
very flexible indeed and easily extended with non-standard 
extensions if needed but with no actual implementation it is 
hardly useful ;)

P.S. SIP itself is not even capable of connecting streams of 
data, it encapsulates Session Description Protocol for it. Only 
pure exchange of intentions.
