wow, I wonder what I said that inspired that question!  The answer is no, as the streaming solution is optimized in almost completely the wrong direction - it cheerfully introduces latency in order to meet other needs.

Nothing at all. I was just wondering. I didn't think it was suitable, but wanted to check. :-)

It is, however, suitable for streaming live events, just not for any live interaction, I would think.

Cheers,
