'rtsp' (what the orignal poster said) is in IETF standard (RFC 2326), not
just some propritary RealMedia standard. That said, icecast doesn't support
it, but most likely because it's overkill.

'rtp' what you said, is also a IETF standard (1889).. Icecast doesn't do RTP
because icecast is unicast (RTP is overkill for unicast and not widely used
for that). Vorbis multicast (done by icecast or otherwise) will use RTP.
