   Already figured out the env vars needed.  It works pretty well,
   though there is at least one issue I ran across.  I'm using firefox
   3.x (latest) as well as the latest flash player available for
   linux.

   I was testing using http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=45or5ZVW9Jw

   Occasionally while switching streams, I'd get:

Audio Error of failed request:  BadImplementation (server does not implement operation)
   Major opcode of failed request:  0 ()
   Serial number of failed request:  11371
   Current serial number in output stream:  1205

   If I terminated the tab (X), usually I would get a bunch of these
   errors and the browser would hang (until I killed nasd, in which
   case the browser crashes).

   Before terminating nasd, it would be running in a loop as if the
   flow was still active, even no data was being sent of course.

   Did you see this?

   A very promising start though :)
