[Live-devel] Filter chain question - chain seems to stall

This is reinventing the wheel.  The operating system already buffers 
incoming packets, and does so at least as efficiently as you could do 
yourself in user space.  (You might need to increase the OS's buffer 
size, but you can do this easily (see the FAQ).)

Please don't modify the existing "MultiFramedRTPSource" code.  By 
doing so, you're not only wasting your time, but you won't be able to 
get any support for it on this mailing list.
