Re: Jitter calculations are making me jittery

Hi,

you are right, an RTCP packet could break the jitter calculation
startup. I've commited a few fixes for this in CVS. As the RTCP
initial time seems to have no use, I've replaced the initialTime stuff
with analogous initialDataTime members and methods which are not
updated when RTCP packets are received. I've also patched the
lastPacketTime issue.

This needs some testing however. I'll try to do it shortly. Any
additional feedback will be gladly welcome.
