[xiph-rtp] Difficulties with several RTP streams for a Vorbis stream.

[Phil Kerr]

The AVT-WG would not be happy with a submission that does not work well 
with multicast.  I agree that support for it is not great with ISP's but 
this isn't a valid reason for not working towards this goal.

It's like the adoption of IPv6, just because it isn't widely adopted yet 
doesn't mean that it can be ignored with standards development, or 
indeed application development.
