[Live-devel] consistent combinations for streaming

[Cavalera Claudio]

Hello,
I was reading old mails from the list to get some tips for my work and I've found this one.
I think most of us have only read the first part, since nobody answered the questions; nevertheless I think they deserve an answer which I'm not able to give. If someone is, I would really appreciate the reading.
Thanks
Claudio
