A new version (2006.08.07) of the "LIVE555 Streaming Media" code has 
now been installed.

A noteworthy change in this release:

The way that "OnDemandServerMediaSubsession" creates server ports for 
unicast RTSP sessions has been changed.    Rather than letting the OS 
choose an 'ephemeral' portm number, we now choose server port numbers 
starting with a specific port number (which is now an optional 
parameter to the "OnDemandServerMediaSubsession" constructor).  The 
default value of this initial port number parameter is 6970.  This 
matches the port number range used by other common RTSP server 
implementations,
   including Darwin Streaming Server and Helix.
