------- Comment #1 from Eric Zhang  2008-11-06 01:39 UTC -------
I made a patch seems to work now. I read the source code of openRTSP which is
another open source RTSP impelementation and found out it uses a timeout
callback to handle this EOS issue. In short words, when the playing starts, it
sets up a timeout callback(the timeout time is the duration of current clip),
when the timeout occurs -- sends out the EOS.
According to this logic, I created some codes in
<gst-plugins-good>/gst/rtspsrc/gstrtspsrc.c and make EOS happens. Refer to my
patch file attached for details.

By the way: I think this is a ugly EOS implementation but it works. RTSP 1.0
doesn't support EOS while RTSP 2.0(draft) supports it in PLAY_NOTIFY method. In
RTSP 2.0 in the future, maybe we can got a graceful EOS implementation.
