Ross, these are what I've mentioned on live-devel list, i.e.

- when the UDP RAW stream is not synced on TS boundaries but contains
arbitrary number of bytes in a packet (e.g. 1472) - Vbrick etc,
the live.com library does not accept such stream, VLC input works here

- when the SDP incorrectly states TS over UDP/RAW but in fact it's a TS
over RTP, the library starts to eat 100% CPU a hangs the application
(as I said I don't expect it to work, but also not being a runaway process).
VLC input autoselects between RTP/RAW

This is of course up to you as developers, whether you prefer to do RTP
stack inhouse or use live.com library... Anyway, what I'm proposing is
a very simple change which could help a lot - at least temporarily,
until you'll develop your own RTP stack if that's the intention.
