        Oh, you cannot imagine how I would have loved to be there but
I had serious problems by that time... I will not miss the next :).

        Yes, in order to implement several profiles one or more
virtuals are needed to intercept and make payload dependant
processing. I see ccRTP both as a framework/library for general
applications and a framework for payload specific extensions that
eventually could be partially integrated in ccRTP itself.

        There was already `virtual bool RTPQueue::gotPacket' that for
the moment I think is the perfect place to intercept and handle these
kind of events.

        Well, I go on testing and beautifying the test applications
and I am starting to add a robust iteration mechanism for sources, as
well as organizing the membership control stuff. 

        Depending on the plans for new releases, I could send it now
or wait for a few days and complete it as much as I can.
        
        I ENCOURAGE ANYONE INTERESTED IN RTP TO MAKE PETITIONS AND
SUGGESTIONS, so it will be more useful.
