Yes, it is certainly 'possible' to have RTP sessions that multiplex 
separate media streams, but most RTP sessions are not like this.  In 
particular, I have yet to see a server that actually implements the 
payload 
format described in RFC 2343.  However, the LIVE.COM libraries (and, 
thus, 
MPlayer) could easily be updated to support such a stream, if 
necessary.  (A somewhat more common example of multiplexed media 
streams is 
the "MPEG transport stream" RTP payload format described in RFC 2250; 
we 
support this already.)

In contrast, the vast majority of RTP sessions - that use separate 
packet 
streams for each media - cannot be received/played by "videolan", 
because 
it makes the fatal assumption that there is just a single input 
stream.  Moral of the story, once again: Forget about "videolan", and 
use "MPlayer" <http://www.live.com/mplayer/>; it's superior software.
