You don't need to "make custom implementations of the entire tree" (whatever 
that means :-)  What you can probably do is - in your 
"OnDemandServerMediaSubsession" subclass, redefine the virtual function
        virtual void deleteStream(unsigned clientSessionId, void*& streamToken);
Have it use the "clientSessionId" as a key for whatever extra information you 
want to keep about this session.  (I.e., you could maintain your own hash 
table, indexed by "clientSessionId".)


The last thing that your custom "deleteStream()" implementation would be to 
call the original - i.e., call
        OnDemandServerMediaSubsession::deleteStream(clientSessionId, 
streamToken);

Note that if - as described here - you make changes only to your own subclassed 
code, then you are under no obligation to share it.  If, however, you make 
changes to the supplied "LIVE555 Streaming Media" code (i.e., without 
subclassing), then it will be subject to the LGPL; see
