[Live-devel] When using testOnDemandRTSPServer to stream the same stream concurrently, a segmentation fault occurs

Yes - that is exactly what setting "reuseFirstSource" to True is 
supposed to do.  ("reuseFirstSource" means that the input source is 
opened and read just once, regardless of how many clients are 
currently connected to play the stream.  That's why you are supposed 
to set "reuseFirstSource" to True when you're streaming from a live 
source.)

However, *that* is not supposed to happen :-)

Thanks for the report.  I'll take another look at this, to see if I 
can reproduce the problem.
