I'm curious about any novel approaches to using Fedora to store or
reference streaming media (audio and video).  The consensus seems to be
that Fedora doesn't do a good enough job with throughput to feed a
streaming service reliably.  In the past we experimented with storing a
master file in Fedora, and adding an oEmbed datastream that pointed to an
external streaming service, but this approach has all kinds of problems
(ingestion is a pain, streaming services change URLs, some players only
support local filepath references to the streaming assets, etc.)

I'd appreciate hearing about any other approaches that have served well in
a production environment.
