Troy,
Been there done that! ;-)
Just wanted to add my two cents worth. I ran into the same EXACT
problem before. Exact in that there were no packets at all received, not
even one. What caused it in my case was that I had set the bitrate, in the
massaging of the StreamHeader object to 0! Not what I had intended but what
ended up happening anyway. Setting the AvgBitRate in the StreamHeader to
anything above 0 fixed it.
Basically walk through the creation of the StreamHeader and make sure
your duration and AvgBitRates are not 0.
