Discussion from IRC:

<patriciam> slomo, I've just checked your last commit in gst-rtsp-server.
having only multicast adresses in the address pool in the unicast UDP case
seems very strange. am I missing something?
<slomo> patriciam: it is, but that's how it worked before :)
<slomo> let me find you the code
<slomo> patriciam:

<slomo> this is for the case when you add a pool to your media that only has
multicast addresses, but the client is requesting unicast udp
<patriciam> slomo, hmm... strange configuration :). anyway, it means, that we
are missing the unit-test checking this case. 
<slomo> patriciam: i agree that it's weird, yes. but application expected this
to work and broke now :) should probably fix that for 2.0 (and will probably
forget to fix it because that's so far in the future)
