I don't know any better ways to check for pause support in RTSP 1.0. 
IIRC, you need RTSP 2.0 to actually solve that problem.

That's not true. Without length, DEMUX_SET_POSITION makes no sense, but 
DEMUX_SET_TIME still does.

Yes there is. If you tell VLC you can pause and you actually can't, bad 
stuff happens.

Pausing live content makes no sense. You can't pause real time.

I am aware that we pretend to support pause for some types live 
streams, but only insofar as it does not break anything (else).
