See the code for "afterPlayingStreamState()" in 
"liveMedia/OnDemandServerMediaSubsession.cpp".  If a stream has a 
known duration (which is usually the case if you're streaming from a 
file), then the RTP session is kept alive even after the input source 
ends - in case the client subsequently wants to seek backwards to an 
earlier point in the stream.

Note, however, that a client-issued RTSP "BYE" command will always 
close the RTP session.
