My assumption has from the start been that we need *A* mechanism to associate media with m- lines, as there might be m- line specific characteristics (I haven't gone through all SDP attributes etc with that in mind, though, so I can't give concrete examples at this point) that are needed in order to properly process the media. I thought that relying on PT and/or SSRC/CNAME would cover all cases, but obviously it doesn't.

But, as Cullen has another opinion I don't want to waste time on arguing about that - and I am fully aware what 3264 says about receiving media before the SDP answer :)

My understanding of this has been evolving as the discussion has 
continued. That is why I was eventually motivated to start the thread
"Associating packets with m-lines in a bundle" because I thought it was 
a way to crystalize that issue without having to initially agree on 
*how*. But it turns out that apparently it still isn't universally 
agreed that its necessary to do that association!

The "Plan" discussions make clear that how you intend to use bundling 
impacts how hard the association will be and what mechanisms for doing 
it might be sufficient. For instance, if you never bundle more than one 
m-line of each top level media type (one audio, one video, ...) then PT 
will probably be sufficient to get the job done. If you use Plan A with 
a separate m-line for each of 64 video thumbnails, then maybe not. If 
you use Plan A with CLUE, dynamic switched captures will need something 
else.

So I'm now thinking that BUNDLE with have to be defined without 
agreement on how the association is done. Rather, it will be up to uses 
of bundle to specify that.

	Thanks,
	Paul
