Re: WebRTC-SVC: "S" modes and simulcast using a single SSRC

The RIDs aren't necessary in all packets of the same stream. in fact once
the receiver acknowledges receipt of a stream with a MID or RID, the sender
can remove the MIDs and RIDs from future packets carrying the same SSRC (as
the relationship between SSRC -> MID and SSRC -> RID has been established
by the receiver).
to that extent, you should not send different layers using the same SSRC
and relying on them having different RIDs, as receivers might also be
ignoring the RID and MID extensions once the relationship to SSRC is
established. Not sure if SVC would be different than regular simulcast in
this regard, but worth mentioning.
