Our RTSP server implementation already implements this; you don't 
need to write any new code to do this.

Note the "reclamationTestSeconds" parameter (default value: 45) to 
"RTSPServer::createNew()".  This tells the server how long to wait 
for activity (RTSP commands, *or* RTCP "RR" packets) to come from 
each client, before it terminates the session.

The default value of 45 seconds should be sufficient for almost every 
stream; you should not need to change it.
