Why?  I don't understand.  Your decoder is 
receiving/decoding/displaying MPEG-4 (H.264?) data.  At some point, 
during the stream, the data parameters change (in some way).  But 
these data parameters are already represented (or can be represented) 
in-band - i.e., within the encoded data.  So why can't your decoder 
just recognize and handle the change of parameters, when this occurs?

If you just make sure that your decoder can handle in-band parameter 
changes, then you won't need to change any RTSP server or client 
code, and your application will be more portable (to different 
servers and clients).
