The TEARDOWN should occur as a consequence of the server sending an RTCP
BYE compound for each medias. There is no need to advertise the duration of
the session for this to work. In fact, sometimes even the server does not
know the length.

It is very likely that misc/rtsp.c fails to send a BYE compound since it is
very low-quality code.
