The problem here is that there is no point for us to use live.com without 
our streaming output architecture (packetizing, transcoding, filtering, 
muxing, etc...). That would basically be equivalent to just using VLC as a 
GUI/interface, in which case it would be better to use the live.com tools 
directly.
I don't know live.com's code well but after a first look at it I reached the 
conclusion that if we want to interface live.com with our streaming 
architecture we would have to re-implement a substantial part of the 
classes it provides. It would likely be easier to just implement the RTCP 
support we are missing.
