[Live-devel] Avoid openning files when creating sdp format

Not really.  However, if you're streaming from a live source, 
remember to set the "reuseFirstSource" parameter (to each 
"OnDemandServerMediaSubsession" subclass) to "True".  If you do that, 
you'll only read from the input stream once (no matter how many 
clients you get for it).  (The initial data that gets read in order 
to figure out the SDP description data will not get streamed.)
