HTTP output

[Y.Bosco]

Hi, Flo!

I have one question somewhat to the other side of the topic.
Getstream works differently at different computers.
At the comp I'm writing this letter getstream works awfully. There is
another computer where getstream works perfectly. 

As for this computer, if the number of channels in the satellite strea
more than 2 and the digital stream more than 10 Mbit/s then the image
has chaotically placed squares (about 20 % of the screen) and the sound
stops from time to time and even has fragments echoed. This is both for
udp-multicasting and http-unicasting.

The difference between computers is that this one was made on AMD
Cempron and other one was made on Intel Pentium 4.

What do you think about it?
