The two attached patches need to be squashed into this, then after that, 
it seems to work fine with both RTSP and SAP.

The bug with max_p not being reinitialized was particularly nasty - it 
lead to kernel panics on OS X, when poll was fed with too long pollfd 
list. (Not sure at which point it happened though, if the bug was due to 
the kernel reading out of bounds, or if it just was "too many"...)
