Thanks for the hint, I remember testing the streams via VLC some time ago. For 
me (as a linux user), mplayer is embedded "as Mediaplayer", so I'm not sure 
how it is done under other platforms/systems. (Are there any mac-users out 
there?)

Idea is to let the community talk to each other via chat during the program. 
We would like to embedd voting and add a discussion window to talk to the 
authors etc, so that we have a "real community" platform.

Strange - could you specify your System, java-Version etc. so that I can test 
it on my mashine?
