Yes, this should work, in principle.  However, it has not been 
extensively tested, and I can't guarantee  that there's not still 
some inadvertently shared state somewhere.  (If anyone finds some, 
though, please let us know, and I'll try to remove it.)

Have you tried putting your RTSP server in a separate *process* from 
your input plugins.  (Since your plugins are communicating with the 
server via pipes, this should be straightforward, I think...)

No, because there's no standard port number for RTSP *clients*.
