MPLS/VPN question

As I understand it, MPLS/BGP VPNs (per RFC2547) enable site-to-site 
VPNs at for all traffic flowing between sites in the VPN. Can MPLS
VPNs handle the requirement of creation of VPNs among sites for
specific types of traffic (say e.g. VoIP traffic)? Would this require
a VoIP swtich (other type of allication-aware switches) to be an MPLS edge 
router or can a "one size fits all" approach work here (i.e. can standard
MPLS-aware IP routers create application-specific MPLS VPNs). I'm looking
for technical rationale (i.e. not company/product positioning) here.

TIA,
Saqib
