[xiph-rtp] Theora RTP header design

[Ralph Giles]

Andrey,

I know you said RTP was outside your experience, but I wanted to ask 
your opinion on a design question with the Theora RTP header design.

(That, and on one else has commented :)

We're trying to decide the length of the decoder setup id field, which 
occurs in the RTP payload header of every packet, marking through an oob 
table what set of headers the decoder should use to parse the packet.

Put succinctly, from the point of view of an embedded designer, is it 
better to save 2 bytes per packet, or have the packet data start on a 32 
bit boundary?

This won't help with the theora packet header assembly problem you have, 
but we do have a chance to make the RTP headers easier to paste on than 
the Ogg ones, and there's no explicit CRC like there is in Ogg.

Just curious,
