Hi, Based on comments in the File API Streaming Blobs<http://lists.whatwg.org/htdig.cgi/whatwg-whatwg.org/2011-January/029973.html> thread and my Extending HTML 5 video for adaptive streaming<http://lists.whatwg.org/htdig.cgi/whatwg-whatwg.org/2011-June/032277.html> thread, I decided on taking a stab at writing a MediaSource API spec<http://html5-mediasource-api.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/draft-spec/mediasource-draft-spec.html> for streaming data to a media tag. Please take a look at the spec<http://html5-mediasource-api.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/draft-spec/mediasource-draft-spec.html>and provide some feedback. I've tried to start with the simplest thing that would work and hope to expand from there if need be. For now, I'm intentionally not trying to solve the generic streaming file case because I believe there might be media specific requirements around handling seeking especially if we intend to support non-packetized media streams like WAV. If the feedback is generally positive on this approach, I'll start working on patches for WebKit & Chrome so people can experiment with an actual implementation. Thanks, Aaron
