[Live-devel] Reclaiming live clientsessions

[Ross Finlayson]

First, *do not* send the same message to the mailing list more than 
once!  (Because you did this (and because you're using an 
unprofessional email address), all future messages from you to the 
list will be moderated.)

Right now I'm not sure there's a clean way to delete RTSP sessions 
unless they are actually closed (using RTSP "TEARDOWN") beforehand, 
because otherwise any future incoming RTSP requests or RTCP packets 
might still try to be handled by the code, using deleted structures.

However, as I said before:
You can also call "RTSPServer::removeServerMediaSession()".  This 
won't stop any existing stream (it will run until completion), but it 
will prevent any other clients from requesting the same data.

But is this really a problem?  How often do you ever delete a RTSP 
server without destroying the application (process) that contains it. 
If you destroy the process, all the sockets (and thus client 
sessions) will get closed automatically.

In summary: IMHO, there really isn't a problem/issue here that's 
important enough to address right now.
