I get the feeling that your vlc somehow lacks the livedotcom module. Did you
compile vlc yourself? if so, you should have passed --enable-livedotcom and
--with-livedotcom-tree=<path to live.com tree) to configure. When livedotcom
is available, and the sdp is proper, modules/access/udp.c should never be
called.
