What i would like to see is:

1. having current RTP (MPEG-TS only)
  + my RTSP (MPEG-TS only too as using current RTP demuxer) demuxer
as a minimalistic (default, no --enable/disable option) format support.
2. keep LIVE555 C++ thing as an optional --enable option which should by used
 as the default RTP/RTSP demuxer when compiled in, as a much more complete parser.
3. use libnms some day as a new complete RTP/RTSP demuxer and remove all LIVE555 bloat when
 it'll be ready (should be default when compiled with --enable-libnms).

So basically:
- having minimal RTP/RTSP parser.
- having LIVE555/libnms to overlap the minimal parser when compiled in.

Your guess ?
