[Live-devel] "low latency" mpeg transport stream streaming

No - but I think that your use case is a good one, so I’ve just installed a new version (2016.06.26) that adds a new public function to “MPEG2TransportStreamMultiplexor”:
	Boolean canDeliverNewFrameImmediately() const { return fInputBufferBytesUsed < fInputBufferSize; }
