Just for reference

12.7 Blocksize

    This request header field is sent from the client to the media server
    asking the server for a particular media packet size. This packet
    size does not include lower-layer headers such as IP, UDP, or RTP.
    The server is free to use a blocksize which is lower than the one
    requested. The server MAY truncate this packet size to the closest
    multiple of the minimum, media-specific block size, or override it
    with the media-specific size if necessary. The block size MUST be a
    positive decimal number, measured in octets. The server only returns
    an error (416) if the value is syntactically invalid.

Sending the header according the spec makes the ms server behave 
accordingly?
