I do want to do this.  I have a server which can send notification of MPEG
user data (000001 B2) appearing in the stream which it's client is
receiving.  My client won't be receiving the data, so it cannot look for
the user data itself.  We created a custom RTSP method for this
notification, because it was the best solution at the time.  Most streams
will have been recorded with our system or an identical system, so the user
data will typically have a format and meaning which we defined.
