I suggest creating - in the external thread - some object (struct) that 
represents the stream.  This struct could contain some fields (such as the RTSP 
URL) that would be set by the external thread, and other LIVE555-specific 
fields (such as a pointer to a “RTSPClient” object) that would be set and 
accessed only by the LIVE555-event-loop thread.

Then, pass a pointer to this struct (rather than just the RTSP URL) as the 
‘clientData’ parameter to “triggerEvent()”.
