A subscriber receiving a PUBLISH for a Track it does not wish to receive SHOULD
send REQUEST_ERROR with error code UNINTERESTED, and abandon reading any
publisher initiated streams associated with that subscription using a
STOP_SENDING frame.
A publisher that sends the FORWARD parameter (Section 10.2.17) equal to 0 indicates that it will not transmit any objects until the subscriber sets the Forward State to 1. If the FORWARD parameter is omitted or equal to 1, the publisher will start transmitting objects immediately, possibly before PUBLISH_OK.
