I remember trying this, and something didn't work out right... but I
can't seem to remember what it was. Perhaps my own implementation
stupidity.

A few simple additions to this scheme could be workable for future
use; however I'm planning on ripping at least ideas if not code (if
licenses are okay of course) from mbuffer to get a reliable Unix
buffer. And I need to write the not-buffer output. For OSes that our
implementation doesn't work on.

Another change I just thought of was to store bitstream parameters in
each chunk, so we don't have to tear down the buffer and start a new
one every time bitstream paramters change.

Need to add Percentage Full and Prebuffer % support.
