yes shuffling the packets is a very good idea so larger errors get spread over 
a larger area, mpcf does support that for audio but not for video as video 
has variable size slices and so its more tricky, but h264 allows macroblocks 
to be assigned to slices in any order, so loosing a few slices in a row 
wouldnt be a problem as the lost blocks would be spread evenly over the frame
