Yes, you can use a "ByteStreamMultiFileSource" - rather than a 
"ByteStreamFileSource" - as your input.  You will need to implement 
your own subclass of "ServerMediaSubsession" - similar to 
"MPEG2TransportFileServerMediaSubsession" - to do this.  (You would 
not be able to implement 'trick play' operations (except perhaps for 
'seek') without a *lot* of extra work, though.)
