I'm afraid not. The delta is based on the timestamps carried in the RTP packet,
not the frame timestamps.

Then you're not looking at the RTP timestamping but the capture timestamping. 
If you want to see that just change the Time Display Format from the View menu
into Seconds since previous display packet.

Speex comes in several flavours, see RFC5574, and has three possible clock
rates, see section 3.3: "The sampling rate MUST be either 8000 Hz, 16000 Hz, or
32000 Hz." So, from Speex alone the clockrate can't be derived.

What should be improved is the interpretation of the SDP negotiations, so these
clock rates are extracted.
