JMF/JMStudio doesn't support SIREN codec, at least what I know.

JMStudio supports H.263 video (RFC 2190).

I think QuickTime Player supports H.263-2000 (RFC2429) and/or H.263-1998 (RFC2429)
but it seems not to support the old H.263 (RFC2190).
H.263 (RFC2190) is the codec corresponding to payload type 34.

I don't think QuickTime Player supports SIREN codec.

I'm not sure how you could replay SIREN codec right now. 
I will try to find some more information about that.
