If you're streaming using an RTPSink object, call its octetCount() 
method at two known times.  Then:

	double mbits_sent = (o2 - o1) / 1024.0 / 1024.0 / (s2 - s1);

where o2 and o1 are the octetCount() values at time_t s2 and s1.

Ross, could you please lift this method up a level, to MediaSink?  I 
wanted it when playing around with raw UDP streaming a few weeks ago. 
It would also avoid the need to dynamic_cast<> the sink object in 
certain circumstances, such as when accessing MediaSubsession::sink.
