Hmm, well I really don't know what to say with the tcp
connection(issue), It seems to go in and out of phases i.g.
at first running music, and t.v.(through flash) there's moments of
pauses,(around 5 secs or so) then after a while
the tcp seems to even itself out, but then after a while(5min or so)
the same pauses begin. Maybe due to some missing packet, or
some deadlock if this is proper to say.
regards;
