Yes, the new asynchronous "RTSPClient" API (and thus also the old, 
synchronous API, because it's implemented using the new API) now 
returns result messages that begin with the response code, not with 
"RTSP/x.y" or "HTTP/x.y" - to make them more meaningful.

I didn't realize that VLC was expecting the old form of result 
message; it should instead be checking for an embedded "401 ".
