I finally managed to get mplayer-0.90cvs successfully compiled along
with the latest Live and ffmpeg libraries on Mac OS X system. All seems
well except for the main reason I compiled mplayer myself (as opposed
to the precompiled binary that is available for OS X) - I am still
unable to play an rtsp stream. Here's the rundown:

mplayer -V rtsp://server/mystream.sdp

returns...
(note servername changed to protect the innocent)

Note this is a local stream on our LAN that is being served my the
latest Quicktime Streaming Server and Quicktime Broacdcaster. I can
confirm that the stream is valid - it will play in Quicktime Player.

Any ideas on what the problem is?
