[David Bovill]

VLC is fab (I wish we could use embedded VLC libraires in Rev instead of
QuickTime) - but I was wandering how hard it would be to get QuickTime to do
this? AFAIK QuickTime will play streaming MP3's from ShoutCast and other
streaming servers, and so maybe it is not too hard to get it to save live
stream? Trevors eQT external perhaps?
