Is is secured using AuthType Digest? From what I tested a while back
it seemed that very few players will work when apache is secured using
it.  I had to switch mine back to AuthType Basic before anything would
work.  I guess the alternative would be to make an exception for the
stream URL and have just that unsecured.
