This is a problem with QuickTime Player - not the LIVE.COM server
code. QuickTime Player has a large internal buffer, and there is typically
a large delay (a few seconds) before it displays its incoming data. This
is presumably a consequence of the fact that QuickTime Player was designed
primarily to play on-demand streams, rather than live streams.
If you want less of a delay, I suggest that you use the VLC media player
<http://www.videolan.org/vlc/> instead.
