I find it questionable that the muxer should be automatic for VoD (RTSP) at
all. IMHO, it should only be automatic selected for the #standard sout
plug-in. Nowadays, RTP does not that anymore, so the issue would be moot.

But otherwise, yes, we should not allow muxers that are not supported over
RTP.
