[Live-devel] RTSP url

Yes, but the method for doing so depends on the firewall (there are 
several different kinds).

You probably can't.  I don't think that MPlayer can play raw MPEG-4 
audio files.

No, because neither QuickTime Player nor Windows Media Player can 
play raw MPEG-4 video files.  As you noted, MPlayer could do so.  I 
would also try VLC which (IMHO) is a better player than MPlayer.

Also, of course, VLC can play the "rtsp://" URL directly (audio and video).
