## Description

The GstRTPPayloads helper functions makes it easy to deal with static and dynamic payloads. Its main purpose is to retrieve properties such as the default clock-rate and get session bandwidth information.

### GST_RTP_PAYLOAD_IS_DYNAMIC()

    #define GST_RTP_PAYLOAD_IS_DYNAMIC(pt) ((pt) >= 96 && (pt) <= 127)

Check if `pt` is a dynamic payload type.

`pt` : | a payload type

### struct GstRTPPayloadInfo

    struct GstRTPPayloadInfo {
      guint8       payload_type;
      const gchar *media;
      const gchar *encoding_name;
      guint        clock_rate;
      const gchar *encoding_parameters;
      guint        bitrate;
    };

Structure holding default payload type information.

guint8 `payload_type`; | payload type, -1 means dynamic
const gchar *`media`; | the media type(s), usually "audio", "video", "application", "text", "message".
const gchar *`encoding_name`; | the encoding name of `pt`
guint `clock_rate`; | default clock rate, 0 = unknown/variable
const gchar *`encoding_parameters`; | encoding parameters. For audio this is the number of channels. NULL = not applicable.
guint `bitrate`; | the bitrate of the media. 0 = unknown/variable.

### gst_rtp_payload_info_for_name ()

    const GstRTPPayloadInfo *   gst_rtp_payload_info_for_name
                                                            (const gchar *media,
                                                             const gchar *encoding_name);

Get the GstRTPPayloadInfo for `media` and `encoding_name`. This function is mostly used to get the default clock-rate and bandwidth for dynamic payload types specified with `media` and `encoding` name.

The search for `encoding_name` will be performed in a case insensitve way.

`media` : | the media to find
`encoding_name` : | the encoding name to find
Returns : | a GstRTPPayloadInfo or NULL when no info could be found.

### gst_rtp_payload_info_for_pt ()

    const GstRTPPayloadInfo *   gst_rtp_payload_info_for_pt (guint8 payload_type);

Get the GstRTPPayloadInfo for `payload_type`. This function is mostly used to get the default clock-rate and bandwidth for static payload types specified with `payload_type`.

`payload_type` : | the payload_type to find
Returns : | a GstRTPPayloadInfo or NULL when no info could be found.
