[MPlayer-dev-eng] [BUG] in mms support

what about this order: http, mmst (mmsu if implemented)

so, if http fails (as many bugreports says at -users, they're getting 404
error with this http stuff) then try mmst.

ie. use http if possible, an dfallback to mmst if http fails.

it won't decrease realiability/stability, but will give a chance to servers
which refuse http mode.
