WMS 3.0 Prototype

It worked, it worked like a charm.
We can seek unseekable ASF files now, meaning we can position inside WMS live archives before they are closed and indexed.

Minimal delay, with WMS bridge and his Fast Start technologies (although we can create our own now) we can bring low latency pause, and position to time.

Now it is possible to seek and play any ASF file, indexed or not. With minimal overhead in configuration and applications.

No extra cache's, no transcoding, no other container formats, just minimal logic on top of client, minimal, few lines of code. Maybe not even that if I succed integrating this system inside WMS Datasource plugin.
