libav is built with --enable-librtmp, meaning the documention of the
"librtmp rtmp, rtmpe, rtmps, rtmpt, rtmpte" section applies. So there is
no listen option, but one needs to use the options from librtmp instead.

This also means that username:password support is most likely a librtmp
bug (or a bug in the librtmp use in libav).
