The RTP/RTSP code isn't for streamed realmedia, it's for a couple of open
formats, mainly mpeg.

The servers that stream realmedia use a cryptic challenge/response method
before sending the stream, to check that the requester is using a registered
client (so it's only implemented in RealPlay), and also use a closed
protocol (RDT) for the streaming.  Neither of these are included in the Live
code that has been added to MPlayer.
