Let me know when it's up and I give it a whirl. Also, please bear in  
mind my comments that the existing user-agent string "Media Player  
Name (liveMedia [date string])" does not work with a _KA appended to  
it. I don't know if it's the spaces of the braces, but that was the  
whole reason for the kludgy VLC_LIVE_PLAYER_KA string. Just wanted to  
clarify that.
