Sorry for the false alarm - it was my patch breaking it, while the servers 
actually replied "Unsupported transport" for those requests.

The more precise statement is that RealRTSP/RDT can't have the unicast 
identifier, but RealRTSP/RTP is ok with it.

Updated patch attached.

Subject: [PATCH] rtsp: Specify unicast for TCP interleaved streams, too

According to the RFC, the default is multicast if nothing is
specified, which doesn't make sense for TCP.

According to a bug report, some Axis camera models give a
"400 Bad Request" error if this is omitted.
