Note also that - contrary to apparent widespread belief - multicast 
streams can also be played using RTSP.  (RTSP is *not* just for 
unicast streams.)  See, for instance, the example in section 14.4 of 
RFC 2326 (the RTSP specification).  Most RTSP clients (including VLC 
and QuickTime Player) support this.
