I wasn’t able to reproduce this using “live555MediaServer” and VLC as the 
client.  I suspect that the problem is “ffplay”; it’s not a very good RTSP 
client implementation.  I suspect that it’s not really sending a RTSP “PAUSE” 
command, but is sending a new RTSP “PLAY” command each time it resumes, which 
will produce the duplicated stream.
