[Live-devel] Stop specific streams.

First, you may find it better to use the new "event trigger" mechanism - see "UsageEnvironment/include/UsageEnvironment.hh" - rather than the "watchVariable" mechanism.  (If you use "event triggers", then the "clientData" parameter to "triggerEvent()" could be used to (somehow) indicate a specific stream that you want to 'stop'.)

But alternatively, if you want to still use the "watchVariable" mechanism, the  you can do so by having your 'signalling' thread (i.e., the one that sets the 'watch variable', but does not otherwise access any LIVE555 objects) also set some global variable in such a way to indicate which specific stream you want to 'stop'.
