Depends on what you mean by streaming.  If you want any sort of
guaranteed rates, no.  If you just want the first part of the file
before the second before the next, then this is still possible with the
specced redundancy system, but the guaranteed bandwidth will be hard to
come by if the system is unable to find a large number of blocks.

recreating and inserting missing parts is certainly possible, but is a
client issue (just like all these redundancy issues).  Whether we should
is debatable (like just about everything proposed on freenet-devl).
