I don't know; you'll have to ask them.  (This mailing list is not for 
the "Darwin Streaming Server" - that's Apple's software, not ours.)

However,  *our* RTSP server implementation (e.g, as used in the 
"LIVE555 Media Server") *does* send RTCP "BYE" packets when the 
stream ends, but only for media types for which 'seeking' is not 
supported.  (For those media types, the server keeps the session open 
after the stream ends, in case the client wants to replay it from an 
earlier time.)

This code works correctly, *if* the server sends a RTCP "BYE" packet. 
You can test this by running "openRTSP" with the "-V" option (to 
specify verbose output).
