You do this my modifying "MultiFramedRTPSource.cpp", but not in the 
way that you have done.

Instead, note the "fromAddress" parameter to the call to 
"handleRead()" in "BufferedPacket::fillInData()".  This (result) 
parameter will contain the source IP address and port for the 
received RTP packet.
