I've always wanted mythweb to be able to do this kind of thing, but
until there is a way to actually stream the content in real-time, in a
format that a browser would understand, it's kind of pointless.

Having a separate process, like mythstream, would be a better idea. 
Then mythweb could just forward to a URI for the streaming server, and
that server can do what it needs to for accessing files, transcoding,
etc.
