It's normally a property of the container to provide multiple streams, not the
protocol. Same as a disk file having one video and multiple audio streams,
still exposed as a single bytestream. Is that somehow different for rtsp? Do
you mean it's impossible to create a bytestream object for rtsp url at all?

Starting with http/https is fine.
