Thanks, I see there are some RFCs related to RTP,
and some particularly useful tools that could help in understanding
via example, such as [1].
If you have any references to documents or applications that could
facilitate understanding or development in Plan 9, that would
be greatly appreciated.

My idea/understanding of Web 2.0 on Plan 9 has been that we
would break apart the various mediums that diverge from the
plaintext and image, such as audio and video (which is perhaps
everything), and make simple standalone tools for accessing this
data. Then, primarily one attains just text from a direct HTTP
conversation with a webserver, and the tools providing us with this
conversation give us references to the other forms of data present
on the web site, for each of which we have a corresponding tool
for access. I'm sure this is a rather obvious style as envisioned
by just about anyone who's been using Plan 9, so a flash streaming
utility seems to be the next step.


Thanks for your input,
ak
