The docs says:

 * @return 0 on success, a negative AVERROR on error.

There are certainly some applications out in the world that check it as
"if (ret)" and not "if (ret < 0)", such a change would break them.

A quick look into the code seems to indicate that the problem lies in the
implementation of the RTSP protocol, that does not update the pos field of
the "main" protocol according to the progress of the individual streams.
