That doesn't matter, because *TCP* packets will still be arriving (on 
the TCP socket), and will be handled.  This is a Red Herring.

As I said before, if your code properly closes your "RTPInterface" 
objects, all of the sockets will end up being closed properly (and 
all of its event loop handlers will also be deleted).  So it won't 
matter if the same socket number(s) end up getting used again later.

In the current code, there are two possible ways that "RTPInterface" 
objects (when used for RTP-over-TCP) get closed.
1/ By calling "RTPInterface::removeStreamSocket()" (e.g, as is done 
in "OnDemandServerMediaSubsession.cpp"), or
2/ By calling "RTPInterface::stopNetworkReading()" (e.g., as is done 
in "MultiFramedRTPSource.cpp")

Only then should you actually delete the "RTPinterface" object.

I'm sorry, but because we're talking about your own custom code, I 
can't help you any more with this.  (So this will probably be my last 
posting on this topic.)  But there is nothing wrong with 
"BasicTaskScheduler", and there are no plans to modify that code.
