Hi.

i'm looking into this stream, but i can't get it to work yet.
It work with the old realplayer8, but not with the helix realplayer.
It's a RealAudio4 8k5 bps (codec sipro), audio block format is ra4.

I got past the error

> sdpplin: got 'm=', but 'a=StreamCount' is still unknown. Broken sdp?

by forcing the code to assume that no StreamCount means 1 stream, but
there is still some work to do.

The dumped file now has a MDPR chunk, but still misses some data needed
for stream recognition, not even realplayer8 can play the dumped stream.
I can probably hack rm demuxer to play it, but I'd really prefer to get
a valid playable dump.

Ciao,
 Roberto
