Hi Schimon,

I have already made a SFU component using Galène for XMPP:
https://libervia.org/__b/doc/backend/components.html#audio-video-conferences

I'm also working on specification, first draft;
https://xmpp.org/extensions/inbox/av_conferences.html

It was rejected by council due to the use of one jingle session per stream 
(which was done to map Galène behaviour), I'll submit an updated version to 
use a single session, but  I'll have to find time for this.

Anyway, support is here and working, no need to duplicate efforts.

Best,
Goffi
