Anton,

If you have managed to stream from a single FIFO OK (without blocking), then you should be able to stream from two (or more) FIFOs as well.  I presume that you have written your own “FramedSource” subclass that encapsulates a FIFO (so that each new instance of this class creates a new FIFO).  Just implement the “createNewStreamSource()” virtual function (in your “OnDemandServerMediaSubsession” subclass) so that it creates a new instance of your ‘FIFO’ class each time.
