Just a little follow up on this. I spoke with Arnaud, who is working on IO
hooks, and he got actually a better idea that we could allow using user
stream wrapper as an underlaying stream which would cover this much better.
So it could be used like this:

$transport = fopen("my-dtls-transport://...");
stream_socket_enable_crypto($transport, true,
STREAM_CRYPTO_METHOD_DTLS_CLIENT);
fwrite($transport, "some data");

It means that for your use case, we will probably
need stream_socket_enable_crypto. This will still need a custom BIO and
might not be completely straight forward so not something to look now. Just
keep that in mind.

Kind regards,
