To write a decoder (or encoder) that works with the "LIVE.COM Streaming 
Media" libraries, you would need to write a subclass of "FramedFilter", and 
implement the virtual function "doGetNextFrame()" (to generate a frame of 
decoded (or encoded) data, each time it's called).

For a model of how to do this, see the definition and implementation of the 
classes "uLawFromPCMAudioSource" and "PCMFromuLawAudioSource".  (These 
classes convert between 16-bit PCM audio and 8-bit u-law audio.)
