Just a clarification on EasySAPAnnouncer
http://nutmeg.conncoll.edu/wiki/index.php/ESA

It is very likely that this is not the source of being unable to  
detect SAPs in the new VLC.
The SAPs from ESA are created from SDP files, in our test cases from  
QT Broadcaster and relays in QTSS.

If the SDP files are malformed, then "legal" SAPs could probably not  
be created.

A while ago I noted that the Wirecast SDP files were  
malformed....after a couple of syntax changes they worked fine.

Never had a chance to contact them though..
Time for a bit more detective work.

Thanks,
