[Live-devel] Sending BYE in RTCPInstance destructor

This is certainly appropriate - see, for example, RFC3550, section 6.3.7.

However, clients that receive a RTCP "BYE" from another *client* should not 
terminate.  (They should perhaps terminate if they receive a RTCP "BYE" 
from the *server*.)  Unfortunately, our "RTCPInstance::setByeHandler()" 
function doesn't yet allow the programmer to specify that only BYEs from 
the *server* should be handled.  I will try to fix this in the next release 
of the software.
