In which way are they disordered; are packets from different streams 
received incorrectly interleaved, or are packets within one stream 
received in non-monotonic order?

I've seen cases of the latter some times, but then I think it's mostly 
been a case where the sender's clock has been adjusted during the sending. 
The former shouldn't be a problem for ffplay/ffmpeg at the moment, I 
think?
