This works on,

- Kasenna MediaBase 7.0.1
- RealServer Version 9.0.2.794 (win32)
- QTSS-Akamai/4.1
- DSS/4.1.3 (Build/412.45; Platform/Win32)
- Windows 2003 RTSP
- Old Real 8 server
- Helix XL

They seem to just ignore the application/x-rtsp-mh and provide
an sdp instead. There were other issues, but I was just concentrating
on whether or not they supplied an sdp. And they do.

No, but they provide enough information for me to work with. With
this "Accept:" string the "Content-Type:" in the response is always
x-rtsp-mh. However, it responds with both the x-rtsp and an sdp.

The sdp's are not right, but between both types of content description
there is enough information to build the different SETUP's.

So, I'll proceed with this approach, tidy up the patch and resubmit.
