Subject: smoothly switching live streams

I would like my users to be able to effect a switch between
live video streamsl with as little visual impact as possible. The
biggest problem is the fact that current stream play stops while
we begin buffering for the next stream. This is made
worse by the relatively long buffering times. I gather that it
is generally impossible to make realPlayer video buffering
inconsequential. Are there any other means of smoothing
the transition between live streams? Is there any way to
use SMIL to do this with user controled stream selection?


My review of the archives don't leave me optomistic...
