I think you can definitely get a list of playing streams.  For logging, my
impression of Live555 thus far is that it's hit-or-miss, and there isn't
much granularity to the logging that does happen.  Most of it is a result of
compile-time switches.

I think the primary purpose of Live555 is a light-weight, embedded RTSP
server (and also RTP stack).  It's generally full featured, but I could see
an enterprise user thinking's it's a bit lacking (it's certainly not a
Darwin or Wowza--but those products also don't run on a 200 MHZ ARM part
either).
