what's this obsession with local playback? just stream it to the same

yes, yes, all perfectly achievable with a little bit of poking around config
files probably. The existing streaming systems are conceived for a slightly
different set of circumstances - in which the machine running the controlling
browser is the same as the one where the playback happens. I want the remote
machine (a wireless handheld) to control playback on the server.
If this were the only issue, I'd certainly use one of the existing systems
rather than writing another - but the user interfaces seem all wrong to me.
