"setAuxilliaryReadHandler()" is a hack that should not be used.  I 
don't think anyone uses it anymore, and it will likely be removed 
from a future release of the code.  In any case, it provides access 
to raw RTP packets (i.e., including RTP headers) - and that's *not* 
what you want.

OK, then your solution is straightforward.  You need to write your 
own subclass of "MediaSink" that does whatever you want to do with 
the incoming data, and use that *instead of* "FileSink".

(Or, if your incoming stream is video-only (or audio-only), then you 
could use the "-v" (or "-a") option to "openRTSP", and pipe it into a 
separate application (that reads from stdin) that processes it.)
