There seems to be a bug on how Totem parses MMS:// protocol handlers. I am
using UPC Live TV from Poland (live television broadcasted using MMS protocol,
available only to PL UPC ISP users). Totem takes ~15 minutes to connect to the
stream. When looking at the page source, I see mms:// link to the stream. I've
tried to connect with totem to this stream and I see some connection refused
messages. However, if I replace the mms:// header with rtsp://, the stream
opens successfully and works great. It seems that GStreaner tries to connect to
this stream using mms protocol and waits a long time before it tries to use
RTSP.  Windows Media Player takes ~15 seconds to start playing the stream.
Maybe if MMS is unavailable GStreamer should try RTSP first and then wait for
timeout for mms?
