"openRTSP" should send back a RTCP "BYE" packet only after it thinks 
it has reached the end of the stream - and this can happen only if 
you specify the 'end time' of the stream, either explicitly (using 
the "-e <endTime>" option to openRTSP), or implicitly (by an end time 
appearing in the SDP "t=" line).  So if you're not specifying an end 
time for your stream, I don't see how your server can be getting a 
RTCP "BYE" packet.

Are you setting "fPresentationTime" and "fDurationInMicroseconds" 
correctly in your 'framer' class?
