But CDR data really needs what TCP has to offer.

What you do is re-implement TCP (or TCP/with a bit of SSL). While it
might work, ,it is not as good as the original.

Anotherthing I have a "bad feeling about" is tying the CDR to a specific
channel (IAX2).

If you have some congestion on the way, how will you guarantee that
you'll drop audio packets but retain all the CDR packets?

Or do you consider all the CDR packets "control"? But they are data.
They are a data stream, and not really control, and their priority is
probably different.
