i havent tested or reviewed, but i think ffmpeg://rtmp:// would coexist
with this patch.

this could be worked around kind of like how live555 tries rtsp://
first, then mplayer's realrtsp tries rtsp://. but thats a lot of work
for not a lot of gain.

also, i'm for mplayer having rtmp support. with a simple change to
rtmpsrv one could block flash player from wasting cpu while
simultaneously sending the rtmp url to mplayer for playback.

now the hard part: getting mplayer -dumpstream to work with rtmp:// ?
