why would someone want to spend 1-x gb of hd space for such a feature.....
why not cache in RAM. that won.t stress the hd and imho gives enough seconds
for "instant playback" and "pause". hd caching should start when the "pause"
button is pressed, and then the cached RAM is written to hd, followed by the
live stream....
