[Macpartners] Streaming audio servers?

[Justin Anderson]

RTSP streams over 554, or 7070 if 554 is not available. I'm not sure  
why you want to use a non-standard port, but it looks very doable.

 From Apple's streaming-server-users mailing list:

I haven't tried it myself, but it seems like you just need to edit / 
Library/QuickTimeStreaming/Config/streamingserver.xml to use whatever  
rtsp port you like. You'll need to restart QTSS to make changes take  
effect.
