           Summary: RealAudio over RTSP not working
           Product: GStreamer
           Version: 0.8.x
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED

Please describe the problem:
GStreamer refuses to play a RealAudio ".rm" file streamed over RTSP even though
it can play the same file if streamed over HTTP or read from local disk instead.
 Among the various GStreamer plugins installed, there is indeed one which claims
to understand RTSP.

Steps to reproduce:
Try to play an episode of the NPR program "This American Life", such as
<http://www.thislife.org/ra/49.ram>.  This file is a playlist which points to
<rtsp://a1769.v18544.c1854.g.vr.akamaistream.net/ondemand/7/1769/1854/1115330241/www.wbez.org/ta/49.rm>,
an Akamai'ed RTSP stream.

If the end part of that looks like a URL to you, you'd be right.  You can
connect to <http://www.wbez.org/ta/49.rm> directly, and GStreamer will happily
play it.

Actual results:

Does this happen every time?


Other information:
I'm using Ubuntu 5.10 on x86 with gst-ffmpeg from the "multiverse" repository
(hope I got the version right; not sitting in front of it at the moment).
