As far as I can read the logs, in-band SPS/PPS were removed much earlier:

    * Skip nal type 7 and 8 in RTP muxing.

But they were reintroduced a long time ago:

    QT 7.2 seems to handle PPS/SPS ok, so send them too.
    small typo to fix port-audio/video sending.

All supported VLC versions have in-band PPS and SPS.
