Yes.  After creating each "RTPSink" (actually, "MultiFramedRTPSink") 
object, call
	setPacketSizes(preferredPacketSize, maxPacketSize);
on it.

In your case, maxPacketSize would be 548.  I suggest a value of 500 
for "preferredPacketSize".  (Both values should be multiples of 4, to 
avoid potential problems when streaming PCM audio.)
