Which "vast majority"? The vast majority of our users does not use RTP at
all. The vast majority of RTP users do not enter the address manually. Of
the tiny minority of users that do enter RTP media location by hand, I am
not at all convinced that the "vast majority" uses the Qt4 open network
stream dialog. You will note that the Paste location dialog, and the
command line interface were already defaulting _implicitly_ to 5004,
whereas the open network dialog was defaulting _explicitly_ to 1234.

This is getting ridiculous. Topic closed as far as I am concerned.
