You would need to write a filter class (i.e., a subclass of 
"FramedFilter") that does the encoding into Speex.  You would then 
feed this into a "SimpleRTPSink".  (Because the RTP payload format 
for Speex is so simple, you don't need to write your own "RTPSink" 
subclass for this.)

So, the chain of objects would be

	ByteStreamFileSource -> YourSpeexEncoderFilter -> SimpleRTPSink
