Ok, i'm getting values for packet->bytes   that looks something like this.

361
348
349
54
58
60
60
424
376
365

Is that supposed to be the kilobit rate of the particular packet?  I question 
it because it's very very different from that of mp3 bitstreams.   If it's 
not and it's simply single bytes, then how would that equate to a bitrate, 
since it wouldn't be more than 4000 - 5000 bits per frame.  That sounds more 
wrong than my first guess.
