> 1) Perhaps the data _is_ the problem.  I’m simply stripping the rtp payloads from the pcap into a raw file, then feeding that as input to ffmpeg.  This worked with other audio codecs (ulaw, alaw, G722, etc) so I assumed it could be so with opus, but perhaps not?

This does not work for vorbis, so I expected it does not work for opus
either (it works for flac iirc).

> I would probably prefer to pipe the rtp stream — ie rtp headers and all — to ffmpeg, but I have not been able to figure out whether that is possible — did some basic testing with ‘rtp’ format but could not get it to work.  So I fell back to providing the raw concatenated audio payloads.

(Just remove libopus.so from the library directory before building.)

Where you will find a current (supported) build right over the one you
downloaded.
