Why?
Because the * community is just a little on the lazy side.
* can not self clock RTP packets.  Instead of clocking itself and just
locking on to received packets, it totally relies on received packets
for it's timing.

No packets coming in for timing, no packets going out.

This would be something fun to work on, but who has time when
there are work arounds.  I am unemployed and I do not have the time.
