Yes. 5004 is the RTP port allocated for RTP/AVP over UDP, TCP and DCCP.

The native RTP receiver already defaults to 5004 in VLC 1.0. Live555 never had 
any default and always signals the port numbers through RTSP or SDP.

The Qt4 interface allows changing the port number on the receive path.

Contrary to 1234,
 - 5004 is the standard port number,
 - 5004 is not commonly used for something else, raw TS over UDP,
 - 5004 is not allocated to something else.
