This is cool stuff!

Is the small change in the ts muxer independent?

Patch is here:
http://www.unwiredappeal.com/blogfiles/techblog/vlc-livehttp.patch
You should attach it here if you want review.

 Copyright, years and authors are wrong.
 sout_access_out_sys_t might need reordering for mem alignment.
 Braces for if are inconsistent. Please use K&R or FFmpeg or VLC codestyle,
 but pick one and keep it the same within the file :D

Was the patch tested on Win32, btw?

Please, do another thread and attach the patch:
http://www.unwiredappeal.com/blogfiles/techblog/vlcmms.patch
but if this fixes 2533, it should be applied ASAP.
