Well sort of. But VLC is waiting for a connection as "server" and the
"client" starts sending data to it. There's no proper RTSP used
currently, so in the protocol's (RTP/RTCP) point of view there really
isn't a server as such. Perhaps it's clearer to just speak about sending
and receiving ends.

I've inspected the RTCP SR data (only thing sent currently) and it seems
that it is fine. Identical (except for timestamp resolution) RTCP for
the video stream is working which would suggest that the problem is in
timing the AMR buffers in VLC/live555. Also the behavior without RTCP
seems quite odd.

I'm using VLC for the receiving end and suspecting that the problem is
in it and/or liveMedia and/or their integration, so I thought asking
here was appropriate.
