[vlc-devel] Listening to some .ra streams works, but dumping or transcoding fails!

Trying to transcode a BBC .ra stream
rtsp://rmlive.bbc.co.uk/bbc-rbs/rmlive/ev7/live24/radio1/live/r1_dsat_g2.ra
which
plays fine in VLC (older 0.8.6 versions as well as the latest nightly on MAC
OS 10.4.11).  However on all versions I've tried, when I try to transcode or
dump to a file, I get garbled audio, which doesn't grow nearly as fast as it
should, and lots of debug statements/errors like
this:<rtsp://rmlive.bbc.co.uk/bbc-rbs/rmlive/ev7/live24/radio1/live/r1_dsat_g2.ra>
[00000364] packetizer_copy packetizer debug: need dts > 0
[00000364] packetizer_copy packetizer debug: need dts > 0
[00000364] packetizer_copy packetizer debug: need dts > 0
[00000364] packetizer_copy packetizer debug: need dts > 0
[00000364] packetizer_copy packetizer debug: need dts > 0

When listening, no such messages occur.

I can give full logs if needed.  Just thought I'd see if this was a known
issue or if I'm doing something wrong.

Commandline to listen is:
vlc-1.0.0-git/VLC.app/Contents/MacOS/VLC -vvv "rtsp://
rmlive.bbc.co.uk/bbc-rbs/rmlive/ev7/live24/radio1/live/r1_dsat_g2.ra"

Commanline to transcode is:

vlc-1.0.0-git/VLC.app/Contents/MacOS/VLC -vvv -I dummy "rtsp://
rmlive.bbc.co.uk/bbc-rbs/rmlive/ev7/live24/radio1/live/r1_dsat_g2.ra"
'--sout=#transcode{ab=64,acodec=mp3,channels=2,samplerate=44100}:standard{access=file,mux=raw,dst="/Users/wooo/out.mp3"}'
vlc://quit

I've tried all different output formats, etc. and all seem to fail and
output the sam debug messages.
Thanks,
Steve
