I realize that Ogg and RTP are very similar.  That is why I was
wondering why there isn't a simple Ogg->RTP mapping, rather than cooking
one up for each Ogg-contained format.

I am not that all the Ogg packet headers should go into the RTP packets, I
am just thinking there would be a clear way to put any Ogg-Contained
formats into RTP.

Just a thought.  Maybe if I look at RTP and Ogg in more detail I will
see some obvious problems with this.

POB.
