[Live-devel] RTSP server/client application

This is probably possible, if you write new subclasses of "RTPSink" 
(for the server) and "RTPSource" (for the client) that encapsulate 
your hardware on each end.

Then, at the server end, you will need to write a new subclass of 
"OnDemandServerMediaSubsession" (to redefine the "createNewRTPSink()" 
virtual function to create a new instance of your "RTPSink" subclass).

Similarly, at the client end, you will need to modify the 
"MediaSession::initiate()" function (unfortunately, you can't do this 
by subclassing) to create a new instance of your "RTPSource" subclass.
