You mean "packet", not "package".

Actually, it would be even better if the first RTCP "SR" packet were 
sent *before* the first RTP packet, for the reason you state.  I 
think the RTP specification allows this (for unicast streams, at 
least), and so this is something we may end up doing someday.

(In any case, though, a client must always allow for some RTP packets 
to be received before the first RTCP "SR" packet is received - i.e., 
before properly time-synchronized presentation times can be inferred 
from the RTP packets.)
