Could it be an idea to push the encoding part on a proxy of some sort and
connect the "flash" plugin to that, like the X-server works today. That way
one can develop a lighter(cpu/ram) protocol for all the different forms of
media encodings out there like flash, shockwave, qucktime and so on.

It will also give a lot of different positive side effects like only one
place to upgrade the codec's, limited caching ++. Probably some negative
ones too, but the cynicism comes after I've had my tea.
