Comment (by cohosh):

 Just to give an update on this, building Tor Browser with this pion
 library is a bit painful right now. Our reproducible build system (rbm)
 doesn't work nicely with modules and, after a conversation with boklm,
 it's preferrable to create a separate project for each go lib dependency.
 This means a total of 13 pion libraries plus an additional 14+
 dependencies for each of these libraries. There might be more, I stopped
 going down the rabbit hole after a while. I don't think creating 30-ish
 projects just to build this is a viable or sustainable option.

 There's an open ticket for integrating go modules into rbm (#28325) it
 would be nice to know how fast or difficult that task is. Otherwise we
 could maybe hack together something with custom build commands. It will be
 a pain to keep track of versions/commits for all of the dependencies.
