If RTCP is implemented properly, then RTCP packets will be sent much 
more frequently than 45s.

Note that - according to the RTP standard - RTCP is *not* optional. 
You should implement it (provided of course, that you are streaming 
via RTP, and not raw-UDP).

"GET_PARAMETER" will work.  (Our RTSP server implementation will 
ignore the contents of that message, and just send back an empty 
response.)

(Note that the "LIVE555 Streaming Media" software includes a 
RTSP/RTP/RTCP *client* implementation, as well as a server 
implementation.)
