[Live-devel] Is there a RTP payload type for a MPEG program stream?

Section 1 and 2 of RFC 2250 (RTP payload type for MPEG1/2 Video) mention 
that MPEG1 system streams and MPEG2 program streams may be carried in 
RTP packets.  Section 2.1 says that distinct types are given in the RTP 
header for MPEG1 System streams, MPEG2 program streams, and MPEG2 
transport streams and it references RFC 1890 for those payload type 
assignments.  But nowhere in RFC 1890 does it mention MPEG1 system or 
MPEG2 program streams, only the MPEG2 transport stream (and the ES 
stream).  Am I confused?  Can RTP carry a MPEG program stream?

Thanks,
