[Live-devel] newbie questions

>Q-1 Is livemedia library compatible with Kasenna ?

Partially.  The problem here is that the 'Kasenna' server is a piece of 
junk, and it's use of RTSP is grossly non-standard.

However, if you set the "allowKasennaProtocol" parameter in 
"RTSPClient::describeURL()" to True, then you'll get a RTSP client that can 
allegedly talk to 'Kasenna' servers.

However, I suggest that you instead use a real, standards-compliant RTSP 
server - such as Apple's "Darwin Streaming Server", or LIVE.COM's own 
"RTSPServer" implementation (as demonstrated by the 
"testOnDemandRTSPServer" demo application).

>Q-2 What is the performance/memory usage of liveMedia libarary(openRTSP

You'll have to figure this out for yourself.  Remember, You Have Complete 
Source Code.

I don't know.  The code is easily portable to most Unix systems, so I 
suggest you try this for yourself.
