[Bug 796797] Gstreamer RTSP client connects to Gstreamer RTSP server: Only fixed number of connections are possible, then always "Error (503): Service Unavailable"

--- Comment #7 from Marie Maurer <meinemailingliste2 at online.de> ---
Is this the right way to go?
Taken e.g. from
https://github.com/GStreamer/gst-rtsp-server/blob/master/examples/test-video.c

/* this timeout is periodically run to clean up the expired sessions from the
 * pool. This needs to be run explicitly currently but might be done
 * automatically as part of the mainloop. */
static gboolean
timeout (GstRTSPServer * server)
{
  GstRTSPSessionPool *pool;

  pool = gst_rtsp_server_get_session_pool (server);
  gst_rtsp_session_pool_cleanup (pool);
  g_object_unref (pool);

  return TRUE;
}

and calling it periodically 

/* add a timeout for the session cleanup */
  g_timeout_add_seconds (2, (GSourceFunc) timeout, server);

There is 

gst_rtsp_session_set_timeout (GstRTSPSession *session, guint timeout);

Is it also needed? Is the timeout only activated, when one is calling this
function? What is default value, when this function is not called?
What is a good/minimum value for this timeout? Does a low value have
disadvantages? E.g. a lot keep alive messages are exchanged?
(unfortunately the documentation is a bit less, not really describing
the important things. I refer to
https://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/data/doc/gstreamer/head/gst-rtsp-server/html/GstRTSPSession.html#gst-rtsp-session-set-timeout
)
