Apparently, vlc will happily accept and request raw/udp (and we all know where 
vlc gets rtsp support from :)). Anyway, it seemed sensible to me, as I want 
to multicast from an mpeg2-ts source without adding rtp, and being able to do 
this with vlc is at least better than nothing. If you hadn't added the patch, 
I might have had to apply it manually on upgrades, so thanks again!
