I challenge this description - the term "application-level RTP session" 
is not defined.
There are RTP sessions (which are defined by being a single SSRC 
namespace). If you want a new concept, call it something else.

For myself, I'm happy with describing single flows (SSRCs), all flows of 
the same type (payload types), and all flows in an RTP session; I think 
adding a fourth level of granularity is more trouble than it's worth.
