Basically you could let the application select which strategy to use (e.g. low latency, sustained playback) through an API call and control just few generic parameters (e.g. min/max bandwidth). This will allow also a bit of differentiation/competition between different media players still leaving the application a bit of control of what's going on. /g -- Giuseppe Pascale TV & Connected Devices Opera Software - Sweden
