That's odd.  Perhaps the >0 value returned by "select()" is for the 
(TCP) RTSP socket, and not for any of the (UDP) RTP sockets?  If so, 
then this would suggest that you are not receiving any RTP packets at 
all (which would explain why 
"MultiFramedRTPSource::networkReadHandler()" is never called).

All I can suggest at this stage is noting the socket number(s) that 
are passed to the calls to "turnOnNetworkReadHandling()" (in 
"RTPInterface.cpp" and "RTSPClient.cpp"), and comparing those to the 
socket numbers that are indicated as being 'readable' following the 
call to "select()".  I suspect you'll find that you're not receiving 
RTP packets, for some reason (perhaps a bug in your OS???).

In any case, there's no point in looking at the VLC code here, 
because the problem appears to be occurring at a much lower level.
