Hi Folks,

I have noticed that mov's and mp4 contained clips do not stream over http 
unless you are connected to the server with a very fast link. The problem 
exists back to 0.6.x and exists here today from the latest SVN repository.

Some observations:

. This happens in both Windows and Linux.
. Debug shows that the stream is constantly making seek requests.
. Local streaming on a fast link can sometimes freeze too.
. Sample at http://www.ednet.ns.ca/~macleajb/MP4/yard2-320x240-200-ac3-128.mp4
. Appears to stream fine in mplayer.

Any pointers as to where I can look to debug this welcome :),
JES
