Another thing you could do is add
#define DEBUG 1
to the start of "RTCP.cpp", and recompile.  This will tell you if you 
receive any RTCP (RR) reports.

I don't know - it's possible that VLC is the problem, and that (for 
some reason) it's not sending RTCP reports.  Alternatively, you could 
try running the "testMP3Receiver" demo application, which should send 
RTCP reports OK.
