[Live-devel] Streaming to wowza media server

No, it means that we no longer support clients 'pushing' data to 
servers at all.  This is generally a bad idea, and there's no 
standard protocol for doing this anyway.  (Apple's 'Darwin' servers 
use a bastardized, non-standard variation of the RTSP protocol.)

Instead, our servers 'pull' data from their source.  The easiest way 
to do this is if the source is a file (or a named pipe), but - with a 
little programming - other kinds of source can also be supported. 
(See the FAQ.)

No.
