[Live-devel] Create and Handle Custom RTSP Response

What exactly is this "timestamp" supposed to be?  You realize, I 
hope, that every RTP packet sent by the server (and received by the 
client) already has a timestamp, which gets mapped to an accurate 
"presentation time" that the client software (e.g., VLC) sees.

If you're trying to do something that's outside the RTSP/RTP/RTCP 
standard, then this probably isn't a good idea.
