Yes; one problem though (in my view) is that G_ip as shipped (at least up
until v 2.90 - I've not looked at 2.91 yet) overrides a RTMPdump default
timeout value (of 120 seconds) setting it instead to 10 seconds, which makes
RTMPdump quite likely not to be able to resume (I assume it does this to
allow G_iP's overall retry feature to leap into action much sooner).

I specify an RTMPdump override of my own, which overrides the G_iP override
and thus takes effect, using eg:

  --rtmp-radio-opts "--timeout nnn"

(and a similar tv one), where nnn is the number of seconds you want RTMPdump
to wait for while trying to resume in the event of an interruption.  I've
found it quite good at resuming once given a few minutes to try to.
