Actually, the "LIVE555 Streaming Media" (aka. 'liveMedia') code 
*does* support sending periodic RTSP "GET_PARAMETER" commands (using 
the "RTSPClient::getMediaSessionParameter()" function).  However, it 
does not do this automatically (because it's not the standard way for 
clients to send a keep-alive; RTCP is the standard).

However, it would be straightforward to add this functionality to 
VLC's (now anachronistically named) "livedotcom.cpp" code, which acts 
as the interface between the LIVE555 code and the rest of VLC.
