Thank you Ross. So I suppose that in my FrameFilter subclass, I would
have to parse the "frames" received from the UDPSource to fine the
real payload data, encrypt it and then re-insert the UDP headers that
were skipped, yes? (From my reading of the description of
BasicUDPSource).

Thanks Ross, for live555. I enjoy using it a great deal.
