Almost noone implements the "Speed:" header, and in fact, because of 
this, the IETF is considering removing it from future revisions of 
the RTSP standard.

Do you understand that the "Speed:" header is *not* intended to be 
used for 'fast forward' play?  Fast forward play is implemented using 
the "Scale:" header is used (which our server already supports, for 
some media types.
