When streaming from websites, there is often quite some client and server handshaking
between a mouse click on "play" and the moment the content actually starts playing. That
complexity is a direct and unintended consequence of the platform and tools used by the
stream provider.
So tools like wireshark and streamsniff help these sites to become more accessible.
Really.
