[streaming] Trying to understand why RTSP playing of video with a Windows Media Server source fails to fin d the end-of-stream properly

[Ross Finlayson]

The standard way for a server to signal 'end of stream' is using a 
RTCP "BYE" packet (sent by the server).

VLC will recognize an incoming RTCP "BYE" packet (as signalling 'end 
of stream'), so you should make sure that your server sends this.
