Key frame bitrate

Hi, I'm using Theora for live video chat. My problem is, at higher bitrates the bandwidth peaks caused by key frames are so high that most key frames get dropped in UDP traffic. The peaks are so strong that I still get many packet loss artifacts when sending with 1Mbit/s bitrate on a 2Mbit/s connection. I measured delta frames to be around 12kbyte and key frames up to 100kbyte in 1280x720 video at 15fps even with lowest rate buffer settings. I can send 2Mbit/s without errors when using heavy traffic shaping, but this causes clearly visible delay. In pre-1.0 API there was a parameter to set the bitrate for key frames which would probably help a lot with this. Is there any chance key frame bitrate control finds its way back into Theora? Or any other workaround for this? Thanks in advance Andreas
