Yeah. It will not be too hard to add an "external" option to the
download function I wrote. I'm busy today, but I'll look at it later

I don't know. The reason YouTube is popular is because of the Flash

likely that is to happen (even though Google owns YouTube now).

[00000292] main private debug: AStreamSeekStream: can't seek
[00000287] main input debug: EOF reached
