[Live-devel] Still working on a h264 framer

More specifically, you should:
1/ Encode each of these NAL units into a text string, using Base-64. 
(For this, you can use our own library function "base64Encode()".)
2/ Concatenate these strings together, using "," as a separator
3/ Pass the resulting string to "H264VideoRTPSink::createNew()", as 
the "sprop_parameter_sets_str" parameter
