There is a known bug in QuickTime Player that prevents it from playing 
MP3/RTP streams.  (Note that this is only a problem with MP3 - it will play 
MPEG-1 or 2 layer I or layer II audio RTP streams, MPEG-4 audio RTP 
streams, and MPEG-1,2 or 4 video streams, but not layer III (i.e., MP3) 
audio RTP streams.)

I don't know.  It seems that RealOne Player may also be buggy.

>I thought both thison-demand server and qt, realone are all RTSP compatible.

They are, but the players sometimes have bugs that prevent them from 
properly playing some streams.
