I need to think a little bit more about this.
I know real rtsp is a mess, but there must be some way to support
it without filling all the rtsp code with hacks, layering violations,
and so on...

I suspect part of the problem is due to the fact that you are reusing
the RTP infrastructure without making the RTSP code more generic, but
I am not sure about it... I need to re-read all the code, and to think
about it. (BTW, is it my impression, or rtp_check_and_send_back_rr() is
still called for RDT over UDP? And is rtp_parse_open() still called?)
