Strictly speaking, no, the SSRC should be sufficient to distinguish
cases.  But it's probably a good practice, in case you have an SSRC
collision, causing the same key stream to be reused (which is bad).
Unless you are in a multi-party session with a single key, noting that
then you probably have an even higher chance of SSRC collision.
