RTP: Why are timestamps and sequence numbers started at random value?

In the RTP rfc, it is stated that the sequence numbers and the timestamps start at a random value. There is no explanation for that, and what I found by google'ing is the following: "This is more or less unavoidable if different media types are generated by independent applications, whether these applications reside on the same host or not". I do not understand that explanation. For identification you use the SSRC. I don't see how there could arise any problems if the sequence numbers and timestamps started at 0. Can anyone provide me with an answer?
