Trickplay in general needs some work for streaming. It's something that
I hope to work on soon.

There was work done by DJ, Ross Finlayson and myself that resulted in
VLC being able to work well with Kasenna MediaBase servers for MPEG2
RTP and UDP streaming. Some of this would have been in vlc 0.8.1, with
complete support in vlc 0.8.2.

When we stopped working on it the remaining issues were, as far as I
recall, MPEG1 and MP3.

The MediaBase MPEG4 implementation already used SDP and didn't require
changes to work with VLC.

If you find a problem with vlc/mediabase interoperability please let
us know and we will see what can be done about it.
