Not quite.  He's wanting something that actually manages data access, 
and routes audio and video streams around.  Take a look at AviSynth for 
an example.  The wrapper stub just points at the current location on 
disk of the initial recording.  It does not (although it would not be 
all that difficult) pipe the data through stdin/out to allow for 
operation against remote storage.
