	Nope. ffserver listens on a port and SERVES streams to clients connecting to it. I 
need ffmpeg to listen on a port and RECEIVE a stream sent by a client.
	With RTSP you can do it, i.e.:

        ffmpeg -rtsp_flags listen -f rtsp -i rtsp://localhost:5050/ -vcodec copy -acodec copy 
video.mp4

	What I'm asking is the equivalent syntax in RTMP.
