Using MAD for MP3 Streaming decoding

I am using MAD library for my application which basically decodes the MP3 
streams. I am using HELIX server (from RealNetworks) as the MP3 streaming 
server.

After I started the streaming (the helix server streaming a local MP3 file 
encoded at Constant Bit rate of 128Kbps and 441.KHz sampling freq). The 
streaming is done using RTSP/RTP protocol. I captured the streamed out 
packets and found out that the length of each RTP payload is varying. The 
first few stream packets are containing less than 417/418 bytes of Mp3 audio 
data.

I have taken care of copying the unprocessed/left out MP3 data of previous 
frame into the new frame but I am always getting the LOST_SYNC error.

Will someone help me out in processing the MP3 data that is streamed out.
