[Live-devel] Streaming Redirection

[Jeff Oliver]

I too am interested in the redirection feature.  I was playing around 
with some of the code to get this to work, but I don't have anything 
working yet.  I added code to parse the destination field and changed 
around the code that opens up the sockets, but i couldn't get the 
streamer to actually send the RTP data.  If I get a chance I'll take 
another look at it and see if I can get it working.
