Yes, you should be able to use rtpplay for that.
I haven't used rtpsend myself, but guess that rtpllay could be useful if you want to edit something in the file (e.g.
if you need to send with a different payload type) before sending it.

I used
<rtpdump -F ascii  -f  sampleg723.rtp -o sampleg723.txt

and got something like below in sampleg723.txt

0.000000 RTP len=60 from=0.0.0.0:0 v=2 p=0 x=0 cc=0 m=0 pt=4 (G723,1,8000) seq=6769 ts=480 ssrc=0x46a58959

Hower it might be better to use "-F hex" so that the payload bytes are also included
<rtpdump -F hex  -f  sampleg723.rtp -o sampleg723hex.txt

and got something like below in sampleg723hex.txt
0.000000 RTP len=60 from=0.0.0.0:0 v=2 p=0 x=0 cc=0 m=0 pt=4 (G723,1,8000) seq=6769 ts=480 ssrc=0x46a58959

I'm not sure that the files generated in this way will work with rtpsend, since I have rtpsend myself yet.
