What I don't understand is that independently from the codec, looking at 
the RTP timestamps, they are  incremented by 6036 or 5946 per frame, 
which is roughly 15fps for a clock of 90kHz. But maybe this information 
is not exploited ?

OK, I'm learning, I just wanted to know at a high level which info is 
handled by what. Maybe I'm expecting too much about the internal use of 
RTP timestamps...
