>I thought that in theory RTSP could be used over udp.

Yes, "in theory".  In practice, RTSP is always over TCP (to guarantee that 
requests and responses are received completely).  Certainly, noone ever 
sends RTSP commands using UDP multicast packets.

Yes, if the RTSP server chooses to implement "PAUSE" for multicast 
streams.  But the server might instead choose to do nothing if it receives 
a "PAUSE" request for a multicast stream.
