Well, you can stop being flabbergasted, because there *is* open source 
RTSP/RTP software available that supports on-demand streaming of MPEG-2 
Transport Stream (or Program Stream) files (as well as several other file 
types): The "LIVE.COM Streaming Media" software: 
<http://www.live.com/liveMedia/>.  Note, in particular, the 
"testOnDemandRTSPServer" demonstration application.

BTW, this same software is used to implement VLC's RTSP/RTP client support 
(although not yet its RTSP/RTP *server* support).

ps. There's also Apple's "Darwin Streaming Server", although this requires 
that files be converted to 'hinted .mov' format prior to streaming.
