If you are able to play a unicast stream just by reading a SDP 
description, then that's solely by accident, and we do not support 
it.  If you want to reliably play a unicast stream, use the RTSP or 
SIP protocols.  (Note that MPlayer and VLC support RTSP, but not 
SIP.)  If you want to reliably play a stream just by reading a SDP 
descrpition, then you should make the stream multicast, rather than unicast.
