[syslog-ng] Syslog-ng setup for both RFC3164 and RFC5124

Hi all,
Is there a way to configure syslog-ng to process properly both RFC3164 and RFC5124 on the same listening port ?
The scenario is a bunch of devices sending traffic to one syslog server port (both udp + tcp) with the senders typically not knowing what protocol they are sending.
We are running syslog-ng 3.13 with this setup:
source s_syslog { udp(ip(0.0.0.0) port(514)) ; tcp(ip(0.0.0.0) port(514)); }
If needed we could upgrade syslog-ng to 3.19.1 but having checked the doc for 3.19, it seems that the solution would be to create 2 source entries, 1 for RFC3164 with network() and 1 for RFC5124 with syslog(). Neverthless, these 2 sources would have to listen on *different* ports and that is the problem for us.
Note that we also have an identical issue with cisco traffic, since it's not RFC compliant, syslog-ng adds automatically a header with timestamp and hostname.
Thank you.
