[vlc] RTSP: How to Announce EOF event to the RTSP Client

[ravinder]

If at all we need to send a request from vlc server to client whether it is
possible with the current architecture of VLC or not? If yes, then how it
can be done? I mean the files need to be changed.

I am not very familiar with the client RTSP code, i.e. the live555 plugin. 
This could be a bug. The point is that the server only needs to send RTCP
BYE. 
Besides, ANNOUNCE is underspecified in RTSP/1.0, and server to client
requests 
are more than likely to trigger bugs in some client RTSP stacks, so they 
should be avoided.
