This is most likely the fault of the *server*, not the client.  Most 
RTSP servers do not support all of these operations.

Instead, I suggest that you run the LIVE555 "testOnDemandRTSPServer" 
demo application as your server, streaming a WAV audio file 
("test.wav").  It will support seeking, fast forward, and reverse 
play (with integral scales).  (Note, though, that this is only true 
for WAV audio streaming.  Trick play modes for other media types are 
only partially supported.)
