Monty, You helped me out quite a bit the other day, but I just wanted to make sure I understand something. The "ideal" way to do bit rate peeling is to have the encoder set the file up to be conducive to the peeling process, and the streamer would be the device that actually does the peeling. Am I correct in assuming, then, that the decoder would think that the file it is receiving was (more or less) simply encoded at the lower bit rate, or does the decoder also have to know that it's dealing with a peeled stream? Thanks.

That is to say, could the sender send a sort of bare-bones bitstream using a reliable protocol with high-overhead (i.e. TCP) and send additional component bitstreams using an unreliable low-overhead protocol (i.e. UDP) and have the whole re-assembled on the receiving side? I know this makes for a complicated transfer but I'm sure most of us would rather have diminished quality rather than a complete loss of signal.
