silly.

Well, actually I am using "fReclamatationTestSec" as a stream timeout.
Since I am using unicast streaming with "reuseFirstSource" flag set to
true, the RTCP reports (from receivers) are not noted as 'activity', so
when the time expire the connection is always closed.

I am using this trick because when I try to set a stream timeout using
the proper parameter in the addSubsession method vlc and quicktime have
no a correct behaviour: one (I can not remember which) send only a PAUSE
command and the other reload the stream automatically.

I know that this usage is not "clean" and that I will always have to pay
attention to newer versions of livemedia because the behaviour could
change, but for now it works and I need it.

If I am doing something in the wrong way, please tell me.

Thanks again
Luca
