Non-trivial but highly desirable nonetheless. :) IIRC, the Haiku MediaPlayer
(or is it the Media Kit?) does not support streaming. I don't know if this
would qualify as a GSoC project, but it is IMO another area that would be nice
if it got some love.
Personally, I would like to see GSoC geared towards advancing the development
of native frameworks and/or applications, rather than ports, but I digress. :)
