Stas sent me a link to the stream in private.

After debugging it for quite a while, I've got it working more or less. It 
still stops every now and then, but it works about as well as in VLC.

The two patches I just sent, "rtpdec: Skip padding bytes at the end of 
packets" and "rtpdec_h264: Pass NAL type 0 through", are required in order 
to decode it properly.
