The connection timed out. The rtmpsuck sends the pause command automatically, 
to try to wake up the connection. (It will then send an unpause, 1 second 
later.) In this case, the pause command couldn't be sent because the 
connection was already broken. There's nothing we can do here, it's up to the 
original client to retry the connection.
