[Live-devel] temporal reference and Picture types for TS streams

That's correct.  See RFC 2550, section 2.  Unlike the RTP payload 
format for MPEG-1 or 2 Elementary Streams, the RTP payload format for 
MPEG Transport Streams does not include any extra RTP header; 
instead, Transport Stream data is packed, 'as is', into RTP packets.

Therefore you will need to parse the Transport Stream data in order 
to get MPEG-specific information.  Sorry.
