Author Stream class no seek method?

Hi all,

I just got a first demo of the 'Shared Browsing concept done using the
live stream approach (
http://fabdev.fabchannel.com/sharedbrowsing/index.html ). This is
implemented with the following approach:

- server publishes live stream
- server plays prerecorded flv into that stream
- server implements custom method 'seekVideo'
- client connects to live stream
- leader uses nc.call 'seekVideo' to 'browse' through a stream

Now with some initial testing i found out it works out quite well,
there is little delay and instant response when following the leader.
However..there is no Seek method on the Stream class. Any reasons why
that is? I know implemented the seekVideo method using the Stream.play
method with an offset. Does this mean the server is going to read the
prerecorded flv on disk again? Or does it just a seek in the current
playing stream?

I'm testing with a small 15 MB FLV file. I'm wondering how well it
performs when there are multiple people seeking through 1.5 GB flv
files.
