HTML5 does not specify what protocols can be used for media sources, so your HTML is correct and could work if MediaPlayer implementation supported RTSP. You need to debug what's going on inside Source/WebCore/platform/graphics/gstreamer/MediaPlayerPrivateGStreamer.cpp - does gstreamer receive proper URL and if its API is used properly for RTSP case.
