Hmm. Maybe that works. I'd been thinking this wouldn't work with rtp, 
but looks like that's not really a problem. Does mean seeking by 
metadata is way slow.

Monty, Jack, what do you think about this?

For streaming that wouldn't be a problem, and for fx. saved streams you
could
just add some functionality to vcut to be able to autosplit oggs at new 
headers.
