I doubt you would need to do that, but without knowing more about 
exactly what you're trying to do, it's hard to say for sure.  Are you 
talking about supporting 'trick play' - e.g., so that the stream 
appears, to the client, to be N times as fast (i.e., the RTSP "scale" 
header)?  Or are you talking about actually changing the rate that 
bits get sent, without necessarily changing the stream's appearance, 
as seen by clients (i.e., the RTSP "speed" header)?  Or something else?
