I have to say I don't know why you have conceived this obsessive hatred of
fproxy. First, the mumail stuff only happens on insert, not request, so it
has absolutely no bearing on fproxy's ability or lack thereof to stream
mp3s. (Anyway, I didn't even write that code.)
Second, the encrypt/decrypt cycle you're complaining about isn't new to
fproxy, but goes all the way back to the original design of InsertClient
and RequestClient as lightweight nodes instead of a client
protocol/interface.
