Is it normal/expected for av_open_input_file to block without a
timeout or error when trying to connect to an unavailable host? It
works fine with files, but if you give it an rtp url for a filename,
the function call never returns.
Specifically, it seems stuck in a for loop inside rtp_read (rtpproto.c:210).

Right. There's no timeout on this function. If a rtp stream is received
the function returns, otherwise not. To avoid the whole application to
block, you have to realize a timeout by your own, take a look at the
'timeout on av_read_frame()' discussion.
