If your MPEG decoder is accessible as a file (e.g., in /dev), then you do 
this with the existing "testMPEG1or2VideoReceiver" application, simply by 
redirecting its output to the decoder device file.

Otherwise, you can write a new 'sink' class that encapsulates your decoder 
device, and use this new class instead of "FileSink".  One easy way to do 
this is to use the existing "FileSink" implementation as a model, and 
replace the calls to "fopen()", "fopen()" and "fclose()" with code that 
accesses your decoder device.
