Hello all;

  RTP is the Real-time Transport Protocol (not to be confused with the
Real Time Streaming Protocol), which is the Internet standard transport
protocol for streaming media transport :

RTP   provides end-to-end network transport functions suitable applications transmitting real-time data, such as audio, video or
   simulation data, over multicast or unicast network services.

(from rfc1889). RTP was designed to be a general framework; to actually use it, you
need a payload format, which describes the particulars of that data type.

If you are going to do open source streaming media, you need to have a
RTP payload format description. It should not be too difficult to get this made into an
RFC by the IETF.

                                 Regards
