It was changed in the 2008.04.09 version in an attempt to fix a 
related problem with multicast streams, but - as you discovered - it 
inadvertently broke unicast streams!  I have now installed a new 
version (2008.06.05) of the software that fixes this properly - I 
hope.  The new version uses "connectionEndpointAddress()" if it is 
non-zero, and uses "fServerAddress" otherwise.

Please upgrade to this new version (as it includes some other useful 
improvements to "RTSPClient" also).

Many thanks for looking into and reporting this problem.
