thanks for your answer. As you suggested I started with testMP3Streamer.
I added these to functions just above main() in testMP3Streamer:

  void handleRR(void* clientData) {
    std::cerr << "Received ReceiverReport" << std::endl;
   }

  void handleSR(void* clientData) {
    std::cerr << "Received SenderReport" << std::endl;
   }

and after sessionState.rtcpInstance = RTCPInstance::createNew(...) I added:

sessionState.rtcpInstance->setRRHandler(handleRR,sessionState.sink);
sessionState.rtcpInstance->setSRHandler(handleSR,sessionState.sink);

In my opinion, only the setRRHandler() is relevant for the Sender
because its for receiving the RR packets, and I could use the
transmissionStatsDB for accessing the RR packets, right? Anyhow, just in
case I misunderstood something I added both.
If I start the streamer and use vlc for playback, I hear the music, but
I don't get any output from the handle*() methods. Did I use them
incorrectly or what is the problem here?

Thanks,
Martin
