Why is it so difficult to find the specs for these protocols? I snooped
around on google and found:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/streamripper/

It looks like you have to poll for live365, but I couldn't find any
details.

Bandwidth wise, polling even once per second would not be expensive
compared to the stream itself. It's ugly, but it's not an appreciable
amount of overhead.
