[Live-devel] Streaming MPEG2 TS with separate audio and video input

Yes, you can multiplex the input audio and video streams together 
into a single Transport Stream, and stream that.  You would do this 
using a subclass of "MPEG2TransportStreamMultiplexor" - e.g., 
"MPEG2TransportStreamFromESSource.hh".

For example, look at how the "wis-streamer" code 
<http://www.live555.com/wis-streamer/> combines separate audio and 
video sources into a single Transport Stream - see 
"WISMPEG2TransportStreamServerMediaSubsession.cpp".
