When trying to receive a Speex encoded stream with VLC using the RTSP/RTP/SDP protocols, VLC can not select a valid decoder because of a conflict between Live555 and VLC.
In the Live555 source (MediaSession?.cpp) there is a line of code that checks the SDP codec name:
| strcmp(fCodecName, "SPEEX") == 0 // SPEEX audio
|
In the VLC source (ogg.c) there is also a line of code that checks the SDP codec to load the proper codec:
else if( !strncmp(content_type_string, "audio/x-speex", 14) )
VLC is checking for the string "x-speex" while Live555 is checking for the string "speex". This is never going to work because you can't have both.

You can always reproduce this problem if you are connecting to a server that is serving up a speex stream via RTSP/RTP/SDP.
