RE: CinemaSix... nearly perfect now! Thanks Sujal!

I haven't done enough testing on streaming to find these problems, so
thanks for being my guinea pigs :-)

I'm only home for 6 days (next week) until July 20, so I'll try to get
these streaming bugs hammered out then.  There is little chance that I can
make much progress on PS support in that short period of time, so I'll
focus on streaming and I'm sure we can hammer out many of these bugs.

If anyone has some time, I'd appreciate some help on VLC.  I need to
figure out how to get VLC to stream via HTTP and control the stream (i.e.
pause, seek) via the HTTP interface.  I can either stream, or control a
locally played back stream via the HTTP interface, but not both.  If we
can figure this out, then seek will be easy to implement from there.
