Not really.  Each packet gets sent whenever enough input data arrives 
for it.  For the "testMP3Streamer" example, this happens because the 
input data is coming from a "MP3FileSource" object.  In your 
application, you would need to write your own "FramedSource" subclass 
- to use instead of "MP3FileSource" - that encapsulates your input 
source.  (See the FAQ for hints on how you might do that.)

product that uses the "LIVE555 Streaming Media" software.
