Icecast - Aug 2004 - Anybody tried implementing different streaming protocols yet?

Hi,

does anybody know if somebody tried implementing things like rtsp, mms or 
similar in icecast so far? I heard some rumors from people complaining 
transmissions over http or not "that secure" because using a wget you
can
easily write them to disk. They suggested using real servers or something - but 
I wonder if its (easy?) possible to implement another already widely used 
protocol like mms, rtsp or similar.

Maybe another and easier way would be to implement the ogg vorbis
format in Real Networks "open sourced" Helix streaming server which
allready supports rtsp and http? I realize this is not what this
maillinglist is about just trying to be "real world" practical :) Btw
good job you guys are doing!

The "Open Sourced" Helix server can be found here :

There are many compelling reasons to want to use a different protocol for 
streaming media, rather than just http. This sort of "security"
argument is
definately NOT such a reason - it's a red herring at best. 

For entirely different reasons, an RTSP implementation in icecast would be a 
Very Good Thing, but it's an extremely large task. I don't think anyone
has
tried yet.
