I cant help you on the actual command line, but from what I understand 
(and I welcome to be corrected), is these are codecs your pushing out, 
not a transport container, so without that, ffmpeg can not interleave 
the data together, because it does not know how too...

2 options though I do believe exist, you can interleave say into TS 
container, and try sending that, or 2nd, it send each codec stream 
(video is 1, audio is 2), on different UDP ports, then using the RTSP 
SDP packet, outlining the audio and video ports.
