No, not yet.  We did an implementation of this as a custom project 
for a client, but unfortunately this was custom, proprietary 
code.  Someday it may get reimplemented as general code to be added 
to the public "LIVE555 Streaming Media" source code release - but 
probably not anytime in the near future.

It's a *lot* of work, unfortunately

Yes, that seems to be the only way to do this.
