I'd like to support FLV, and that means both Flash 7 and Flash 8 (and
Flash 6?? not sure if FLV was part of Flash 6).

I'm using NetConnection and NetStream. Currently getting duration
metadata through the NetStream.onMetaData method. Older versions of
FLV simply return "undefined" because they don't properly have the
metadata inside. Hence the need for the metadata injection.
