That's not correct.  You can use the RTSP protocol to control streams 
that are sent to a third party RTP receiver (i.e., separate from the 
RTSP client).  To support this, our RTSP server implementation must 
be modified slightly  - search for 
"RTSP_ALLOW_CLIENT_DESTINATION_SETTING" in "RTSPServer.cpp".  You 
would also need to modify our RTSP client implementation to add a 
"destination=" field in the RTSP "SETUP" command.
