The problem is that I want to be able to accept RTSP connections from 
*all* of the interfaces. So the UDP sockets need to be bound on a 
per-connection basis, depending on what interface the RTSP came in on. 
If I understand correctly, ReceivingInterfaceAddr is a static global, so 
it would set the interface once and for all.
