Aha, I got it:

export  http_proxy=http://130.145.128.253:8080/
mplayer http//real.iae.nl:554/decibel.rm

So not rtsp://, but http://.
Makes sense .. :-)

Not that that helps, becuase now it connects trough the firewall and gives
me an

Failed to create AF_INET6 socket:

error, and comes into an infinite loop of retyring, gving the error,
retying, etc.
