IIRC, my thinking was that the server should try to be as tolerant as possible
and I seem to remember there was I client I tested that didn't send lively
messages (or when I used rtspsrc without lively messages on a server in TCP
mode, it would not timeout, though I don't know for sure anymore). It was a
conscious choice, somehow.

I'm fine with making this the default. As long as there are RTP packets flowing
through the TCP connection, it should be OK to omit the liveness messages but
the problem is when you pause the TCP stream, there is no other way for the
server to detect liveness than to rely on the RTCP or RTSP wellness messages.
