Then you're out of luck.  If you're not using the RTP/RTCP standard, 
then you won't bet getting any of its benefits (which includes RTCP 
"BYE" packets).

I hope you realize that - by modifying your server to support this - 
you are potentially enabling denial-of-service attacks.

If/when the server ends the stream, it will close the TCP connection 
that it has with client A.  This is the only indication that you wlll 
get.
