FYI, in the latest release (2006.05.17) of the "LIVE555 Streaming 
Media" code, you can now use the "reclamationTestSeconds" feature for 
unicast on-demand streams, even if "reuseFirstSource" is set to True.

Also, "RTSPServer" - by default - now has a "reclamationTestSeconds" 
parameter of 45, which means that - by default - all unicast RTSP/RTP 
streams will be timed out if no client activity (either RTSP commands 
or RTCP "RR" packets) is seen in 45 seconds.

(Note that reclamation is currently *not* applied to multicast 
streams, regardless of the value of "reclamationTestSeconds".  Unlike 
unicast streams, mutlicast streams keep running, even after a client 
leaves the session.)
