I agree HLS and HDS are here to stay.  On PC based browser the Listen
Again and live stream are HDS format stream played via a flash player.

As I see it the problem with doing HLS is that LMS protocol handling is
not set up to open and close http URL every 6 secs. It adds complexity
and a level of unknown within LMS single thread.

My initial step would be to implement
1. a LMS M3U8 Playlist handler so that codec and speed can be extracted
for display.
2. Implement a Standalone Perl transcoder which strips HLS and MPEGS
leaving AAC/MP3 audio stream. This is simple to implement and most
platform will have Perl. Windows is the problem with this approach as
LMS is installed as a exe not as Perl with source files.. 
3. I'm not sure about the handling of seek within stream (i.e. ffw/rew)
- existing methods may work.

Time is the problem for me - I cannot predict when I would the time to
implement a transcoder.
