Ah, OK - I think I see what you're saying now. 
You're saying that you think that the client 
(VLC) is *correct* in sending "0-" in its "PLAY" 
request, even though the SDP in the "DESCRIBE" 
response specified a range??

Mumble...  I'm not sure about this.  But, in the 
spirit of "be conservative in what you send", 
I'll go ahead and try changing our RTSP server 
implementation to send back "0-<range-end-time>" 
in its RTSP "PLAY" response, even in this case. 
I'll see if this then makes VLC happy.  Stay 
tuned...
