An application using the "LIVE555 Streaming Media" code uses a single 
event loop - rather than multiple threads- to implement concurrency.

In particular, for a RTSP server, the availability of new file data 
is an 'event', which is handled, in this case, by streaming the file 
data to the requesting client.  The code can, and does, handle many 
different open files (and this clients).

To use the "LIVE555 Streaming Media" code, you need to understand 
event-driven programming.  (It also helps to READ THE FAQ.)
