[FEATURE] SRT Support #392

Description

@memchk

Is your feature request related to a problem? If so, please describe.
I use RTLSDR-Airband to provide low-latency access to my airparks CTAF frequency. For this, I run the software dockerized along with liquidsoap to produce a web-consumable HLS stream. Currently this is painful as liquidsoap has effectively deprecated raw UDP support. I use srt-live-transmit to convert the raw UDP to SRT locally, then forward to the liquidsoap server.

Describe the solution you'd like
Implement the SRT protocol which is natively supported by both liquidsoap and ffmpeg. This gives a better transport than raw UDP (FEC, some ability to handle packet loss, etc.) without greatly complicating the encoding as we can still send raw PCM data.

Describe alternative solutions or features you've considered
We could instead support RTP/RTMP, but SRT has made an effort to be relatively easily integrated, and seems to be the emerging de-facto standard for audio/video transport.
