[Live-devel] Graceful way to shut down a RTP or RTSP server.

Sort of.  A better (clearer) way to do this would be:

         char stopRTSP = 0; // note: char, not char*
         env->taskScheduler().doEventLoop(&stopRTSP);
and then, later, within an event handler:
         stopRTSP = ~0; // any value other than 0 will work.

This is unlikely, but remember that You Have Complete Source Code, so you 
can always check this for yourself.
