You can always instatiate a module manually by calling module_need() or
one of the existing wrappers. For instance, access_New() creates a new
instance of an access module. But then you need to use the module instance
from your code somehow. What you cannot do is insert a random module
instance in the core. Furthermore, RTP is not an access, it's a combined
access_demux.

A single input can have more than one input stream, using slave inputs.
But I don't know if that will work in your case; I doubt it.
