FYI, MPlayer 1.0pre1 and later can now play RealAudio (RA) / RealVideo (RM / RV) "rtsp://" streams. It does this by first checking whether the URL ends with ".rm" or ".ra". If it does it handles it as a special case for RDT, not using the LIVE.COM Streaming Media support. (Otherwise, it uses the LIVE.COM Streaming Media libraires for all non-REAL RTSP/RTP, as usual).

RealMedia RTSP/RDT streaming from internet. Faking the RealNetworks proprietary "RDT". RealAudio and/or RealVideo "rtsp://" support over both UDP and TCP.
PS! RealMedia RTSP/RDT is not the exact same as RTSP/RTP. You see RTSP = Real-time Streaming Protocol, RTSP is a free standard network protocol used for coordinating multimedia streaming, while The "RDT" protocol is RealNetworks proprietary version of RTP, MPlayer now supports all.
Note to all developers wanting to port/code this into XBMP! MPlayer 1.0pre1 released September 01 2003 www.mplayerhq.hu One this that is new in it and relative to this FR is: realmedia rtsp:// support (independent from the live.com rtsp stuff!)
www.mplayerhq.hu/DOCS/documentation.html#streaming "MPlayer can play files from network, using the HTTP, MMS or RTSP/RTP protocol"
For more info & source code on RTSP and RTP see here: http://www.live.com/mplayer/ More info: http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2326.txt
Note that a FR is already open for normal RDP streaming
FFmpeg support RTSP/RTP, but not sure about RTSP/RDT
Otherwise maybe source code for steaming could be borrowed from VLC as well or otherwise? VLC (VideoLAN Client) is open source a highly portable multimedia player that supports various streaming protocols, among others VLC support streaming from HTTP, FTP, MMS via RDP & UDP (see the VLC features list for the rest http://videolan.org/vlc/features.html ).
