No, it's not!

All of these streaming media schemes can decode all the same popular codecs. 
Not only that, they also all seem to have roughly the same ways of getting 
around the inherent problems created in media stream delivery, over an 
inherently non-synchronized protocol, i.e. IP. Like Adobe's RTMP, for example.

The problem is that every tom, dick, and harry thinks they should create their 
own, additional, unnecessary, proprietary protocol that does the same thing as 
the others. And then they each have their groupies who swear by their one 
solution.
