The delivery mechanism appears to be 'relevant' to the bug only 
because it (for some unknown reason) causes AMR audio data to be 
delivered in a form that VLC cannot decode/play.

HOWEVER, the same bug can be demonstrated in a much easier way - by 
attempting to play (either locally, or via HTTP) the file:
             http://www.live555.com/test.amr
Again, VLC (version 0.8.5) cannot play this file, either locally, or 
using HTTP.  However, QuickTime Player and RealPlayer can play this file OK.

(Note that I obtained this file by recording an incoming RTSP/RTP 
stream that VLC was unable to play - i.e., a stream that illustrated 
the problem that you are seeing.)

THEREFORE, I claim that our first priority should be to figure out 
why VLC cannot play the file
             http://www.live555.com/test.amr
If you fix that bug, then it is very likely that it will also fix the 
RTSP/RTP AMR problem.

Yes, in that thread - from mid March - I tried (apparently 
unsuccessfully) to make the same point that I'm making now: First 
figure out why VLC cannot play the file "test.amr".
