[Live-devel] LiveMedia for multiply thread streaming server

Are you aware of the existing RTSP server implementation that's built into 
the library (and the "testOnDemandRTSPServer" application that demonstrates 
this)?

See <http://www.live.com/liveMedia/faq.html#threads>.  Note, however, that 
the existing RTSP server implementation *can* stream multiple sources 
concurrently, but using an event loop - rather than separate threads - for 
concurrency.

When using the "LIVE.COM Streaming Media" code, you should be familiar with 
the event-driven programming, and understand that an event-driven 
application can perform at least as well as one that uses threads (unless 
you're actually running on a multiprocessor, in which case it's usually 
simpler to have your application consist of multiple processes (not just 
threads) - one running on each processor).
