no rtp_protocol ? after compiling with it, still no luck with
ffmpeg://rtsp://. maybe udp problem behind firewall? hmm.

i thought it would be better to add -network switch
mplayer -network ffmpeg http://blah
so that urls do not require ffmpeg:// each time. 
and possibly it can be set per protocol in config
or at least network=live555.

is gstreamer network support next? hehe
thanks for this, its a good feature!
