10.6: One Way to fix QuickTime X streaming issues

I've always had issues with the default UDP protocol that is set up for QuickTime streaming. Basically it just never works for me. In the past, I fot around it by using the QuickTime System Preferences pane to change the transport method to HTTP, using port 80.

QuickTime X has no preference pane, and therefore no way to change the transport protocol (as far as I know). Prior to upgrading to 10.6, I kept a backup and was able to install the old QuickTime System Preferences panel to change my transport settings -- I did select the option to install QuickTime 7 when I upgraded, but it doesn't install the preferences pane.

I don't know how you can otherwise change the streaming protocol in Snow Leopard.
