Summary:                    [patch] app_rtpstream: Application to Page Multicast
capable receivers (e.g. Snom, Linksys, Cisco, Barix devices)
Description: 
app_rtpstream is an application that reads the input channel's voice frames
and does rtp stream them to either unicast or multicast addresses defined
as groups in the config file.

This can be used for example with the Snom and Linksys IP Phones' feature
to do paging to multicast receivers.

Changes done as requested; comments modified as suggested by snuffy.

I have compiled it against trunk today and tested if the module
loads/unloads properly. As I don't have access to any Snom/Linksys or other
multicast capable SIP phones at the moment I'd appreciate it if someone
could install the module and test it. - The latest version is tested to
compile against trunk only.

Meanwhile if someone else could do a first review that would be fine.
Remember:
1)
only 5 codecs are supported not all as suggested before, reason is
explained in http://bugs.digium.com/view.php?id=11797#91266.
2)
the module is not using code out of rtp.c/rtp.h. Remember the multicast
stream is not comparable to a channel or anything where signalling takes
place and it is unidirectional only. Furthermore couldn't I use the tables
there. I would have to place another translation table into it and add a
special routine to get this table out again.
