Splitting it within the RTP depacketizer needs one extra memcpy compared 
to returning all data at once, but I guess the same copy would have to be 
done in a parser instead (for the stream copy case) if we don't split them 
here.

As for the speed difference, I don't really think it's measurable. The 
data amount for AMR is very low anyway (around 1,6 KB/s), so one extra 
memcpy of that amount isn't bad. And splitting may have to be done at some 
point anyway.
