I’ve had some success with AWS (EC2 instance on an EBS volume).  Just 
instantiate the 'CentOS 6 Minimal' AMI, configure the Paravel-Broadcast repo 
and fire up ‘yum install’ — all the standard RPMs work as usual.  Bandwidth at 
AWS can be kinda pricey though, so it’s not really economical for hosting a 
media application.

Quite a few, a major one being block-based time scaling.  The basic idea is to 
look ahead to the next hard-timed event in a log, then timescale all of the 
intervening events so as to arrive at that event at its precise scheduled time. 
 We have it working in Git master right now, but there are a *lot* of corner 
cases to run down and test.  Once that effort is complete, it’ll be coming out 
as v2.11.0.

Cheers!
