I know of no memory leaks that would prevent you from doing this. 
Note, though, that if you plan on creating/running one RTSP session 
per minute (as opposed to having just a single RTSP session that 
stays connected for a whole year), then you will need to create a new 
"RTSPClient" object for each session, and then reclaim it (along with 
the corresponding "MediaSession", "RTPSink", "RTCPInstance", and 
"groupsock" objects) afterwards.  See the "openRTSP" code for hints 
on how to do this.
