No, because Basic Authentication is a dumb idea (it's very weak 
security, because it requires that clients send passwords in the 
clear).  Therefore, our RTSP server implements only Digest 
Authentication.

(Nonetheless, our RTSP *client* implementation will support Basic 
Authentication, for those (stupid) RTSP servers (i.e., not ours :-) 
that insist on using it.)
