[Live-devel] RTP packet rate smoothing?

A better (or at least easier) solution would be to ensure that 
there's at least a minimum delay between successive outgoing packets, 
so as to not exceed the overall bit rate of the network.

I.e., add the following statement just before the call to 
"scheduleDelayedTask()" in "MultiFramedRTPSink.cpp":
         if (uSecondsToGo < minInterPacketGap) uSecondsToGo = 
minInterPacketGap;

Where "minInterPacketGap" is defined as:
         minInterPacketGap = (8*1500*1000000)/B
where B is the network bit rate (in bits per second).

E.g., for a 1 Mbps network, "minInterPacketGap" would be 8*1500 = 
12000 microseconds.
