This looks good - but are you sure that your MP3 audio source is OK?  I.e., I suggest that you first output your MP3 audio source (from your encoder) to a file, and make sure that you can play that file OK (e.g., using VLC).  Then, I suggest making sure that you can stream this file (using “testOnDemandRTSPServer” and/or the “LIVE555 Media Server”).

There’s code in “MP3AudioFileServerMediaSubsession.cpp” that should help you here.  Be aware, however, that very few RTSP clients will implement the MP3ADU RTP payload format; VLC is the only one that I know of.
