This is acutallty the biggest bug. They cause all (perhaps but one)
announces made by vlc to be dropped by major sap clients like sdr and nsdr.
It seems the videolan miniSAPServer also uses these constants. I think this
should be fixed as soon as possible. On the other hand the ffmpeg people did
have a discusion about "information leak" vulnerability from
storing/exporting the computers time, so perhaps the spec recomandation of a
ntp timestamp is not such a good idea?
