that sounds great!

My fault .. I want to create a live stream using the library that will 
be viewed from the phone over the Internet.
If the phone gets an IP adress, that's not necessarily a private one .. 
there are devices out there that can be used to connect to wireless networks
so one could have an external IP adress ..

Thanks,
Andrei
