Unfortunately, no. All that exists is about multicast IPv4 or IPv6, and 
there even seems to be no way to suppress Session Announcement Protocol 
messages.

Well, a native unicast RTP sink implementation that takes the "target" 
parameter would be welcome. That's a lot of work, though.

If you want something quick-and-dirty, with all the AV-sync issues 
inherent in your custom protocol due to lack of timestamps or other 
latency indicators on the wire, and can wait until June 6, I can help 
you add ESD protocol support in XRDP. This way, not a single line of 
PulseAudio source code would need to be changed.
