Making the server as tolerant as possible sounds great to me, but without
risking e.g. network issues keeping a session around for ever (well...). An
alternative solution would be to not require any RTCP/RTSP packets from the
client wile it's actually reading data that the server is sending. But if we
can not send any more data for some reason (client closed it's window, network
problems, ...)  then we need require RTCP/RTSP packets.

This could be achieved by restarting the timeout period not only when we
receive RTCP/RTSP data from the client, but also when we send data to the
client. If we can send then it's reading, right?

What do you think of this approach?
