Re: [MMUSIC] DECISION: Default mechanism to map RTP data to m- line is based on PT?

Hi,

> Agree with Emil that "default" makes more sense for use of PT for mapping to an m line. If a=SSRC is specified on an m line then that should take precedence over PT.

Sure, but a=SSRC would be "whatever other mechanism" :)

The question is, though, how much BUNDLE should talk about "other mechanisms".
