By "UDP packets", I assume you mean "UDP packets that are not RTP".  (Note 
that RTP packets are usually sent using UDP.)

No, I don't know of any client (or server, for that matter) that uses RTSP 
as the control protocol, but which doesn't use RTP as the data protocol.

If you have your own server implementation, then you should make it use 
standard RTP/RTCP for streaming, rather than using some non-standard 
UDP-only encapsulation that no client will understand.  (Note, once again, 
that the "LIVE.COM Streaming Media" code includes an implementation of a 
RTSP server - for either multicast or unicast streaming - so perhaps you 
could use that?)
