This is exactly my point. I wish to trigger the request of a new RTSP
session from the client end so it (the client) can get new SDP
information. To do this, I want the client to see and RTCP BYE so that
it closes the current RTSP session and requests a new one at the same
(fixed) PassiveServerMediaSession RTSP url on the server end. So the
question is what should be the general construct/destruct procedure
for:

0. Forcing an RTCP BYE (using Medium::close() as you advised earlier)

1. (Possibly) closing the existing RTP Sinks and creating new ones.

2. (Possibly) closing the SMS and creating a new one associated with
the new sinks.

3. (Possibly) closing the current sources and creating new ones.

Thanks.
