You don't have to change the Linux IP stack for that: RTSP and RTP are just protocols that run on top of any IP stack, no need for changes.

RealPlayer G2 is able to use RTSP/RTP.

AFAIK, RTSP is the control protocol, and RTP is used to transport the data.

ethernet/IP/TCP/RTSP. (of course, you can use any other physical layer instead of ethernet).

Yes, it is text based.
RTSP is being standardized by the IETF (RFC 2326). IETF is an open standards body, so all documentation is available. Have a look at http://www.ietf.org/ . You can search for RFCs at http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfcsearch.html .

PS: I'm not an expert in RTSP/RTP, but a coworker is working on a server implementation, so I know some of the terminology.
