Well, the RR packets are sent through one of the UDP channels, which leaves the
TCP connection to timeout on its own after 120 seconds, causing the server in
the other end to close the RTP streams. That's what I could deduce from the
traces with wireshark.

The server is not using live555, you can try it out at
rtsp://stream2.asm.fi/tv512.sdp.

Am I barking up the wrong tree here? Is the server side acting funny? Because
that's where the TCP FIN comes from.

Cheers,
