Hi,

If the idea is accepted, it would be great to extend the commit log
explaining how we are using the DISPLAY_STREAM_REPORT to stop the
streaming on server side.

I did not know the reason for STREAM_ACTIVATE_REPORT, for my
understanding the main reason is to generate a report-id [0] which is
totally different from stream-id. AFAICT, I don't think this report-id
is necessary; STREAM_REPORT based on stream-id should be enough but you
know much more about this code then I do :)

Based on my comment above, this ignores the report-id (unique-id) and is
wrong based on my understanding of the current state of this protocol.
Your 2/2 patch includes the check just before [1] which should make this
work but not sure if it is the correct approach in case we need the
report-id for some reason.

Again, not sure if we need the report-id but just taking note that it
exists.

Apart from that, this patch can be split in two. The creating of this
get_stream_by_id (1) function and the stream_report logic (2);
(1) could be applied even if (2) is not accepted, IMHO.
