[MPlayer-dev-eng] A RTP streaming patch for "mplayer"

[Ross Finlayson]

FYI, I have released a patch for the Open Source "mplayer" media player 
(for Linux or FreeBSD), that allows it to receive and play RTP audio/video 
streams.  For more information, please see
         <http://www.live.com/mplayer/>

With this patch, "mplayer" can now receive and play (unicast or multicast) 
MPEG-1 or MPEG-2 RTP streams, using a SDP (".sdp") file as input.  (This 
patch replaces the RTP implementation that was in the code before - that 
implementation was very limited, and supported only MPEG System Streams - 
not Elementary Streams.)

         Ross.

ps. Future versions of this patch will allow "mplayer" to play RTP streams 
from a "rtsp://" URL, and will also support some additional RTP media types 
(e.g., MPEG-4) that "mplayer" has codecs for.
