Susanne,

If by "transcode RTP streams" you mean:
         1/ receive a RTP stream (that uses one particular codec (and 
payload format)) from somewhere
         2/ transcode the audio payload into another codec
         3/ resend the RTP stream somewhere else, using the second codec 
(and payload format)
then, no, MPlayer can't do this.

However, you could, in principle, write your own application using the 
"LIVE.COM Streaming Media" libraries that does this.  You will need to 
write your own code that does 2/ (the actual transcoding), but there is 
lots of support in the libraries for 1/ and 3/.
