It will be complex - basically, the management of 
"RTSPServer::RTSPClientSession" objects will need to change.  (in 
particular, there will need to be a new hash table for looking up 
these objects based on the clients' "Session:" id strings.

This is the first time I have heard of a client that behaves like 
yours.  At some point I'll modify the RTSP server code to support 
this, but this probably won't happen before the New Year.  (Right 
now, server 'trick play' support for MPEG Transport Stream files 
takes priority; lots of people have been asking for this.)
