Personally, i think this is simply a LOT of code just to support this  
form of RTSP...
Isn't there a way to do this simpler? I'm really against adding even  
MORE RTSP code.

We already have:
liveMedia
realRTSP
modules/misc/rtsp (our server)

To add another one is simply unacceptable to me. We are hardly  
ffmpeg, but in terms of code duplicity, this is getting truly  
ridiculous.
