Errr, is there an echo in here? "custom client" != web browser

That's a nice feature. I saw the commit go by but didn't try it until now. Is there a way to tell it open a stream besides the telnet interface?

I just tried playing a myth HLS stream on an iPad and then throwing it to a myth frontend via airplay and it actually worked although there was a fair amount of stuttering. Still, it's very clever.
