Does VLC decode MPEG4 video and MPEG4 AAC when reading rtp streams?
I don't understand well the tables on
http://www.videolan.org/streaming/features.html

Access / muxer matrix

 UDP RTP HTTP File 
PS No No Yes Yes 
TS Yes No Yes Yes 
Ogg No No Yes Yes 
ASF No No Yes Yes 
MP4 No No No Yes 
AVI No No No Yes 
Raw Yes Yes Yes Yes 

Reading from a MP4 file, VLC plays both audio and video.
Getting the same file over RTSP/RTP from a streaming server, VLC plays
only video.
Maybe VLC needs the two streams on the same UDP port?
Or it just can't play two RTP sessions?
Regards,
Claudio
