yes, OpenSIPS CP has RTPproxy support, but if someone is willing to 
write a new tool for CP to add MEdia Proxy support, why not :)

CP does not changes the cfg.
How it actually works:
    - cfg provides the routing logic
    - CP (via DB) provides the routing data

So, you put the logic (as script) in opensips.cfg and then use the CP to 
provision (at runtime) the data used by the script logic.

Not really.

I think this kind of change is simple to do - so, if anybody comes 
across such a requirements, it should be really easy to change the auth 
part from the actual implementation.

Has nothing to do with examples and RFCs ...See:
    http://www.opensips.org/html/docs/modules/1.5.x/ldap.html#ldap-search-fn

it like using ldapsearch command line.

yes, something like this :)
