[Live-devel] TrackId= Vs track in a=control:<track-id>

Actually, the RTSP specification (RFC 2326) uses several different 
example track names - "audio.en", "audio", "video", "streamid=0", 
"movie.aud", "movie.vid", "trackID=1", "trackID=2".  All are legal, 
as is "track<n>", which is what our server uses.

If your client assumes that a track name - specified by the server - 
will be in one particular form only, then it's broken, and should be 
fixed.
