Briam, I managed to read until the end of your post, but the testbed is still on loading (Firefox 2 beta2 on Windows XP). I took a look at the source and saw what you are implementing from scratch (why don't you uses a library like dojo ?). Are you just polling for images or also some metadata ? Ever thought about HTTP Push approaches like COMET to make it really flexible, interactive and broadcastable? What do you think about a Firefox extension for audio recording, screen capturing and rtmp upload ? It's hassle free to install, crossplattform, you can learn form existing projects (openwengo, allpeers), exposed XPCOMs can be accessed form websites via javascript, the only disadvantage: it requires firefox.
