Yes, of course it does.  (Have you not read 
<http://www.live.com/liveMedia/#testProgs>?)

Note that each of the test programs named "test*Streamer" stream via 
multicast.  (In some cases, you will need to enable the program's built-in 
RTSP server 'by hand' by uncommenting the line
         #define IMPLEMENT_RTSP_SERVER 1
before compiling.

If you're running a LIVE.COM RTSP client (e.g., "openRTSP", MPlayer, or 
VLC), then you can see the full RTSP protocol exchange by giving it the 
"-V" option.  This will tell you what is wrong (probably) with your server.
