Ah! I found the answer: [What are the design limitations leading to separate send/receive transports on the client and can we lift them?](https://mediasoup.discourse.group/t/what-are-the-design-limitations-leading-to-separate-send-receive-transports-on-the-client-and-can-we-lift-them/996/3)

Basicaly mediasoup just forwards packets and can’t (i suppose) change payloadType on consumer side.
