No, because streaming over raw UDP is a bad idea, and I don't want to further 
encourage its use.  (Although raw UDP streaming works with Transport Stream 
data, it's still a bad idea, because you miss out on the ability of RTP to 
handle out-of-order network packets, and you miss out on the benefits of RTCP 
(for statistics monitoring and 'liveness' indications).)

(Also, a UDP-streaming version of "testMPEG2TransportStreamer" would be 
incompatible with "testMPEG2TransportReceiver" (unless, of course, that were 
hacked in the same way.))

If people really want a UDP-streaming version of "testMPEG2TransportStreamer", 
then they can easily write their own application to do so.
