[BA] In terms of SDP choices for expressing layering within a single m line, you can either go the a=ssrc-group:DDP route, or use distinct payload types for each layer and RFC 5583 a=group:DDP (this is what "Unified Plan" Section 4.7 appears to advocate).

I'm not sure how "MST within a single session" could be expressed in SDP without BUNDLE.  Was the idea to use multiple m lines and group them together but use the same port?

I think the authors of RFC 6190 didn't see a use case for MST within a single RTP session -- all of the interesting MST use cases they saw involved separate transport flows for the separate layers, and if you're sending all the layers on a single transport flow, SST is significantly simpler.

What requirement are you trying to achieve that's met by MST in a single session, but not by SST?
