[Live-devel] Can openRTSP be used for real time playing

Yes, you can give "openRTSP" the "-v" option (meaning: write video to 
'stdout'), and the pipe it into your decoder (running as a separate 
application).

No, this is probably a red herring.  That threshold time applies only 
when RTP packets get reordered in the network - a rare occurrence. 
In the normal case (no packet reordering), packet data is delivered 
as soon as it arrives.
