A server that sends packets out of order looks very strange... Maybe you
are receiving them out of order because of network issues? (what happens
if you use RTP over TCP?)

Anyway, yes, reordering the received packets is very important, and
must be implemented in rtpdec...

I see you posted some updated patches, I am going to look at them
directly.
