I'm not sure exactly, but the Flash Player 6 release notes don't (or no longer?) mention anything about streaming bugs. The Flash MX release notes have lots of advice regarding various codecs to use and avoid. I am completely uncertain as to the usefulness of this information.

No Nate, there is a bug as detailed here. It only affects the ActiveX (yuck) version of the control. I'm unaware that they have fixed it yet, and haven't seen news reports anywehre indicating that they have. huphtur, where did you get your info?

huphtur: I think I misread your initial post. As far as I know, they haven't fixed the bug yet. I thought you were saying that they had, my bad for not reading your post more carefully.
