First you need libamr-nb, available from http://www.penguin.cz/~utx/amr 
(or available in the debian-multimedia repositories afaik). Configure 
ffmpeg with --enable-libamr-nb --enable-encoder=libamr_nb 
--enable-nonfree. Then you can do a test run with e.g.:
./ffmpeg -re -i <source> -vn -acodec libamr_nb -ar 8000 -ab 12200 -ac 1 -f 
rtp rtp://localhost:5700

The SDP output can be opened with QuickTime Player - VLC doesn't handle it 
out of the box at least (don't know if there's any support to compile in 
manually) since the AMR libraries aren't properly redistributable. The 
only player actually capable of decoding AMR-WB that I found was 
RealPlayer on my Symbian/S60 phone; didn't look too far though.
