That's not true.  Even though your server does not implement RTCP (and so 
your client will not receive RTCP "SR" packets), your client will still 
record packet loss and latency statistics.

For an example of how to use this, see how the "openRTSP" application 
implements its "-Q" option (see "testProgs/playCommon.cpp").
