It seems that there are several possible refactor to do.
Let's make this a meta bug.

By doing 1, we could significantly reduce the danger of crashing the whole device, which is a major problem of current RTSP component.

The final goal of doing 2 is to enable RTSP on Firefox desktop, which could be a huge work that we need strict review on the architecture and security.

I'd like to point out an important issue.
Before refactoring RTSP component, we have to think of building a solid strategy for testing RTSP functionality. So far we don't have any automation tests for RTSP. It is always tested manually by QA engineers.
Bug 1032111 was aimed to enable automation test on emulator, but it is blocked by some reason (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1032111#c41).

In order to ensure our refactoring would not bring in regression, we have to deal with testing first.

Closing this bug since no one works on RTSP anymore.
