One usually writes a small app to receive the IP packets in userspace
via sockets, and then passes the data to the demux or directly
to the video/audio decoders (depending on hardware capabilites and
stream type). IMHO this is more flexible than handling it in an
"IP frontend" driver in the kernel. The overhead is negligible even on
embedded hardware.
