virtual	~Connection ()
	Default destructor.

virtual void	playStream ()=0
	Called from within the live555 event loop.

virtual void	stopStream (bool cut=true)=0
	Stops stream and reclaims it resources. Called from within the live555 event loop. cut: cut the downstream filterchain or no.

virtual void	reStartStream ()
	Called from within the live555 event loop.

virtual void	reStartStreamIf ()
	Called from within the live555 event loop.

virtual bool	isClosed ()
	Have the streams resources been reclaimed after stopping it?

virtual void	forceClose ()
	Normally, stopStream reclaims the resources. This one forces the delete.

Detailed Description

A base class that unifies all kinds of connections (RTSP and SDP).

Methods of this class are used by the LiveThread class and they are called from within the Live555 event loop.

Connect typically has a small, default internal filterchain to correct for the often-so-erroneous timestamps (see the cpp file for more details):

Filterchain: --> {FrameFilter: Connection::inputfilter} --> {TimestampFrameFilter2: Connection::timestampfilter} --> {FrameFilter: Connection::framefilter} -->
