I think I made a misstake here, I used 3.15 and thought nothing related to Real

This is not true, mplayer have native support for real medias rtsp look alike servers.
But for standard compliant rtsp servers it needs the Live555 code as you say.

I also spotted a typo on http://mplayerplug-in.sourceforge.net/faq.php AC3 should be AAC. And I don't see why lame and/or lame-devel is recommended as a component to mplayer.
