The rtsp prefix is used by a number of protocols including, RealAudio,
Apple and an internet standard.

When BBC used RealAudio stream - they had the rtsp:// prefix -
REalAudio was support using the AlienBBC plugin.  The BBC have now
stopped using RealAudio and now the BBC iPlayer plugin support
Flash/Audio which uses the rtmp:// prefix.  The BBC plugins will not
help you.

Your stream is odd/unusual as it seems to be a standard rtsp which
encapsulates a WMA stream. I think this is the way Microsoft is trying
to get users to use a MS specific stream having stopped supporting
their earlier proprietary mms protocol. AFAIK there is no SBS plugin
support for this MS rtsp format.

However if you use a local SBS server with WMA transcoding support.
Disable Windows Media "native" under WebUI Settings/Advanced/Filetypes
and then the stream will play if you use the mms version of the URL
mms://alive.rbc.cn/fm974
