Oh, I noticed this doesn't work with WMS because of the
braindead-retarded way in which WMS servers set up RTP (see
surrounding code in make_setup_request()), you need:

+            /* Try to initialize the connection state in a
+             * potential NAT router by sending dummy packets.
+             * RTP/RTCP dummy packets are used for RDT, too.
+             */
+            if (!(rt->server_type == RTSP_SERVER_WMS && i > 1))
+                rtp_send_punch_packets(rtsp_st->rtp_handle);
