The rtp code opens two UDP sockets. IMHO the second one has always to be
read-/writeable and the first one needs to be opened readable, writable
or both. In rtp_open the flags argument gets passed through until the
both ffurl_open functions. So the only way to properly open a rtp stream
for sending or receiving is with flags AVIO_FLAG_READ_WRITE. My
conclusion is that it breaks less other code when we just apply my
minimal patch then changing the rtp code. What do you think?
