The data that's output to 'stdout' is not 'encrypted'.  It's just MP3 audio.  You need to feed it to a MP3 decoder.  (The "LIVE555 Streaming Media" software doesn't include any media decoders (or encoders).)

If you have a MP3 decoder application that reads from 'stdin', you can simply run:
	testMP3Receiver | your-MP3-decoder-application

Alternatively, just run
	testMP3Receiver > outputFile.mp3
and this will give you a MP3 file that you can play with a media player.

The easiest way to do this is to run the "LIVE555 Media Server": http://www.live555.com/mediaServer/
to stream your file, and then use a RTSP/RTP media player client - such as VLC - to play it at the receiving end.

(Note that, in contrast, "testMP3Streamer"/"testMP3Receiver" are *multicast* applications.  They will work only on networks in which end-to-end IP multicast routing is implemented.)
