Yes and no. Arpi told me that he will add this feature in cache2
when he will have the time. So for now I will do a dirty hack on my
side to test my stuff, and once we got the prebuffering, I will change
my code to support it.

And is not started yet, neither. 
If you are interested in doing the ASX parser, go ahead.
If fact the ASX file is an XML file, so you can use one of the
XML parser available out there. Or do a simple parsing.
An asx look like this:
<ASX VERSION="3">

We need to extract 
mms://wms.eonline.com/Multimedia/Andytedwanda/ted.112901.300.asf
from it. The other information are not really need for now.
