How about an Ogg stream with Cortado[1] for mobiles (or other people who dislike Flash). > 3. HTTP downloads are not possible I think the idea was to stream over HTTP.

If the OS/Browser don't provide it then you're out of luck. Some OSes let any window "stay on top". If only browsers supported <video>[2] and <audio> tags, and if there was actually some base codecs defined that would work on any browser. (chicken/egg?) > Beer, anyone?
