Yes, the (static) RTP payload type 32 denotes MPEG-1 or 2 video elementary 
stream data (MIME type: "video/MPV").  See RFC 3551 sections 5.6 and 6.

Furthermore, the LIVE.COM RTP client code (specifically, 
"liveMedia/MediaSession.cpp") correctly recognizes payload type 32 as 
"video/MPV".  And VLC's "livedotcom.cpp" module (which interfaces between 
the LIVE.COM libraries and the rest of VLC) seems to handle the MIME type 
"video/MPV" correctly.  So (assuming that VLC uses the "livedotcom" module 
to read SDP files), it should be able to play Robert Smith's stream properly.
