Ok, with some help from sigmund I was able to insert a packetizer, and 
I'm now able to stream h.264 if there is no packetloss.

With packetloss it crashes with an " Assertion `pic->data[0]' failed." 
after a while. I've tried to add the BLOCK_FLAG_CORRUPTED to frames 
where I detect packetloss (slices missing from the frame), but it 
doesn't seem to work. Does this flag have any effect with h264? Or are 
there some other things I could do to make the decoder tolerate packetloss?
