Re: [MMUSIC] Proposal for what bundle should say about demux

I'm not sure I agree.

As I said in my previous message to the list, if we are agreed that the m= lines in a BUNDLE group form a single RTP session, then I believe we need unique payload types across all m= lines. In this case, BUNDLE can simply say that regular RTP source demultiplexing based on the SSRC has to be performed, then the payload type can be used to match sources to m= lines for those applications that care about doing so. 

If we're not agreed that the m= lines in a BUNDLE group form a single RTP session, then we have a lot more to discuss...

The only way this could happen is with a SSRC collision so the PT is the one that would be correct not the SSRC. If someone feels strongly the order of steps 2 and 3 should be the opposite way around, I can live with that.
