it's understandable as long as it's about playing local files.. streaming is
a different beast and usually the muxer role is played from the payloader
(see below).

you should use NO muxers if yoiu're already payloading, that is, try
connecting the encoder directly to the payloader. It should just work (r).

Besides, you should make sure that in the rtpsp negotiation (I didn't
understand how it's done prior using these pipelines, but I'll assume some
magic happens under the hood) the audio format is specified as something
like MP4A-LATM (as for rfc3016). Indeed, RealMedia has its own payloading
format and it might happen that the negotiation assumes that one to be used.
