h264parse (and other parsers) read the bitstream, split it into logical
units (NAL units or AU for H.264) and can convert between different
bitstream formats (AVC or byte-stream for H.264)... rtph264pay includes
a parser internally, so it shouldn't require h264parse before it, you
can try setting the "scan-mode" property to 0 (bytestream).
