No, because for some streams, the config information might not be 
present in-band at all, or if it is present in-band, then it might 
not necessarily occur at the start of the stream, where it's needed 
by the receiver.  (E.g., the input stream - fed to the server - might 
have been from a live source in which the VOL headers, etc., appear 
only periodically.)

Anyway, there's probably no great harm if the config data gets 
duplicated (or worse).
