Then light a candle.
The working group is made of its participants, of which you are
presumably one. Start a conversation about something else. I agree that
there are other deliverables, and there's no reason we can't discuss and
progress them in parallel with any codec-related discussions.
Start here; dive in anywhere:

P.S. FWIW, I think the chairs are doing a perfectly reasonable job under
some of the most difficult circumstances I've seen in 16 years of IETF
work. For the past couple of meeting cycles, the problem hasn't even
been the codec discussions; it's been the hyperaggressive
meta-conversations talking *about* the codec conversations. From that
perspective, you *are* standing in the corner playing a vuvuzela as a
member of a highly disruptive vuvuzela chorus. We formally have three
chairs, which is already large for a working group. We really don't need
the hundred or so participants to be back-seat chairs as well.
