RTP Payload Format for Elementary Streams
with MPEG Surround Multi-Channel Audio
Abstract
This memo describes extensions for the RTP payload format defined in
RFC 3640 for the transport of MPEG Surround multi-channel audio.
Additional Media Type parameters are defined to signal backwards-
compatible transmission inside an MPEG-4 Audio elementary stream. In
addition, a layered transmission scheme that doesn't use the MPEG-4
systems framework is presented to transport an MPEG Surround
elementary stream via RTP in parallel with an RTP stream containing
the downmixed audio data.

1. Introduction
MPEG Surround (Spatial Audio Coding, SAC) [23003-1] is an
International Standard that was finalized by MPEG in January 2007.
It is capable of re-creating N channels based on M < N transmitted
channels and additional control data. In the preferred modes of
operating the Spatial Audio Coding system, the M channels can either
be a single mono channel or a stereo channel pair. The control data
represents a significantly lower data rate than the data rate
required for transmitting all N channels, making the coding very
efficient while at the same time ensuring compatibility with M
channel devices.
The MPEG Surround standard incorporates a number of tools that enable
features that allow for broad application of the standard. A key
feature is the ability to scale the spatial image quality gradually
from very low spatial overhead towards transparency. Another key
feature is that the decoder input can be made compatible to existing
