[Live-devel] Q: No RTCP Sink Avail. / Run-time stream changes

I don't really understand this question, but if you're asking whether 
you can make RTCP optional, then the answer is no.  RTCP is a 
mandatory part of the RTP/RTCP standard.

You can add new "ServerMediaSession" objects to (or remove existing 
"ServerMediaSession" objects from) a running RTSPServer at any time. 
But you do this within the event loop - not using threads.  Please, 
everybody, read the FAQ!
