I suppose it's POSSIBLE, but wouldn't be a good idea honestly for a couple
of reasons:

    1) Video media is huge, many times dozens of gigabytes, this could
       easily bloat the object database to HUGE sizes, which might impact
       performance, it's an unknown with objects that size.

    2) Streaming media often using protocols like RTSP, which we do
       not implement.  HTTP isn't really appropriate for streaming.

The other option is QuickTime Streaming server, which is available in source
code form.  http://www.apple.com/quicktime/  Unfortunately, there's no
players for Linux yet.
