[Live-devel] Bug in RTP-Info header ( RTSPServer.cpp )

FYI, it turns out that - even with this fix - QuickTime Player still has 
problem with playing streams from the LIVE.COM RTSP server implementation, 
if the "rtptime" field is included in the RTSP "RTPInfo:" header.  The 
problem occurs when you seek within a stream.  (You can currently 
demonstrate this by streaming from WAV audio files.)

After issuing a new "PLAY" command (to do the seek), the RTSP server 
responds with a "PLAY" response, with a "RTPInfo:" header.  But, for some 
reason, QuickTime Player stops playing if a (correct) "rtptime" field is 
included.

I suspect that this is (yet another) bug in QuickTime Player.  Until this 
issue is resolved, the inclusion of a "rtptime" field in the "RTPInfo:" 
field will remain optional, and disabled by default.
