Yes - however, because you want to use a RTP payload format that we 
don't already implement, you will need to implement your own 
subclasses of "MultiFramedRTPSink" (for sending) and 
"MultiFramedRTPSource" (for receiving).  (Look at the many existing 
examples in the code.)

Also, at the RTSP server end, you will need to implement your own 
subclass of "ServerMediaSubsession" (that uses your 
"MultiFramedRTPSink" subclass, and your input source).  Once again, 
there are several examples in the code of ""ServerMediaSubsession" 
subsessions.
