[Live-devel] Payload matters

No - not with the current code.

However, you could use a "BasicUDPSource", which will receive the 
whole UDP payload, including all RTP headers.

Yes, but the payload format also specifies
- whether there are any special headers (after the common RTP headers), and
- whether/how a single video frame has been fragmented over multiple 
RTP packets
