I don't see how this would happen.  The three steps you listed should 
take no significant time.  So, there must be something else you're 
doing (perhaps in combination with your step 2?) that's causing this delay.


>How can I add a new source without stopping the doEventLoop ?

Yes, of course - you can create new "RTPSource"s from within the 
event loop.  Of course, you have to do this within the LIVE555 event 
loop itself - i.e., in response to an event - not from within your 
external thread.  However, as I noted above, I'm not convinced that 
this would solve the problem with your application.
