No, because there's no *general* way of doing this.  If anyone using this 
software wants to add in their own, application-specific mechanism for 
authenticating the validity of each incoming unicast Reception Report, 
before 'reflecting' it back to the group, then they can easily do so (in 
"liveMedia/RTCP.cpp").
