No, that won't work, because then the RTP reception code won't get executed 
at all!  The format needs to remain as "DEMUXER_TYPE_RTP".

MPlayer has no problem playing MPEG *Elementary Stream* RTP streams, so it 
should be able to play MPEG Transport Stream RTP streams also.

Note the code in "libmpdemux/video.c" (line 173 in the latest CVS) where 
the MPEG parsing code gets called if "demux_is_mpeg_rtp_stream()" returns 
true (which should be the case here).  This *should* be where the data gets 
recognized as a MPEG Transport Stream.
