So, now I am really confused... What is streamed by a real server inside
RDT? An RA or RV ES? Or a RM stream? I've seen some of your patches use
code from rmdec.c, so I supposed that an RDT packet contains RM...

My point is that we should use "%d-%d" for RTP, and "%d" for RDT.

I am not sure what's the policy here, but I guess that if we have
no way to test RDT over UDP we should not add code for it (or we
should not claim to support it). Especially because all this stuff
is undocumented, so we can only guess what's correct and what is
not...
