Problem is, by the time you get a response to RTSP DESCRIBE, so much
stuff has already happened that you almost have to just clean up and
start over, and I'm not yet sure how to do that.

As far as command line option, it is currently possible to force
realrtsp simply by appending something like ?.rm to the URL, which
is ugly as hell but works. And besides if one starts MPlayer from a
frontend, in order to use the would-be option one would need to know
if it's a Real stream or not anyway, so autodetection inside MPlayer
would be much preferable.

The network.c patch I sent handles the case where live.com libraries
are not included in a build by making MPlayer always try realrtsp
when STREAMING_LIVE_DOT_COM is undefined. I don't think it can cause
any undesirable side effects, so it would be great if someone
applied it or told me if anything is wrong with it.
