Probably, but until such a thing is standardized by the IETF (which 
may never happen), we will never support such a thing.

That's not true - at least for the Amino set-top boxes.  They handle 
RTSP-over-TCP just fine.  However, the stream that they receive 
(*not* the RTSP control channel) is MPEG Transport over UDP (not RTP).

However, our RTSP server implementation *does* support streaming to 
Amino set-top boxes.  See <http://www.live555.com/liveMedia/faq.html#stb>

Note the difference between RTSP-over-UDP (which does not exist), and 
streaming-over-UDP, which we do support.
