Absolutely not. RTP should be streamed over UDP. RTP-over-RTSP is
just an accommodation for people with broken networks.
Media players - such as VLC - automatically fail over to
RTP-over-RTSP if they don't receive RTP-over-UDP within a certain
period of time. People running the command-line "openRTSP"
application, however, are supposed to be more sophisticated, and know
what their networks are, and are not, doing.
