[LAD] Streaming

[Patrick Shirkey]

Hi,

I'm just reading about the latest big thing from apple for the iPhone 
and found this quite interesting.

"
The segmenter also creates and maintains an index file containing the 
list of short media files that were created. These files are placed on a 
web server.

A media player built into the iPhone OS is provided a link to the index 
file, it then requests the media files in order and plays them without 
any pauses or gaps between segments "



Just out of interest do we have anything like that for open source?


Doesn't seem like it would be particularly difficult to build.


Cheers.
