quicktime definitely has this capability, and i would think that the 
win API has the same features as the mac one in this regard.  instead 
of calling NewMovieFromFile the call is NewMovieFromDataRef, so it's 
easy to integrate into existing quicktime code.

i have no idea if it's possible to fake this on linux, but since the 
quicktime streaming server (qtss) runs on linux, the libs for 
creating a stream and possibly decoding it might be available.

also there is the possibility to stream directly out from an app to a 
server now.  i  have some example code for this, but it states that 
it only works on the mac.  perhaps a linux hack from GEM to the qtss 
could be done??
