[mythtv] How to integrate streaming content

[matt]

I'd like to see streaming(in and out) ability within myth and am willing to
help code to see it happen.
Also I'd like to be able to timeshift webcasts if needed.

I see two ways of doing this:
1. Integrate with existing modules, making:
    -mythmusic able to play streams
    -mythvideo able to play streams
    -mythbackend able to record scheduled streams
    -mythbacked able to control shoutcast,videolan, and ffserver streams

However this leaves a need for a new form to setup recorded streams.

2. Create a new module (as you have done), making it:
    -able to play streams (live and recorded)
    -able to schedule and record streams
    -able to manage shoutcast,videolan,ffserver,etc servers and streams

However, in this situation, the module would have to be always running (like
mythbackend)

I see advantages to both approaches. Any comments or better ideas?

I don't have any experience coding audio and video processing. But I can
certainly write code to manage other programs (mplayer, ffserver, etc...).
