Thank you.

Yes, I have no argument there that the caller should handle the 
fallback.  In fact I encourage it - because it does give the caller the 
ability to say "Hey, something's not right...  Look into it!".

At the least, it would be nice for RTMPdump to say what did go awry 
rather than go/no go.  That way the caller can react more 
appropriately.  The idea of a new code seems to fit the bill nicely and, 
I think, appropriately.  Good idea Howard :)

With much appreciation,
