Hehe, thanks. It does help. I have moved my functions to mmst.c and the
function prototypes to mmst.h.
I got the asf_mmst_streaming() function written.  I only have it send
out the initial  connection request after opening a port to the server. 
I'm still studying the asf_http_streaming_read() to see how the chunks
get read in and how they get sent to the demux.

I am thinking of letting asf_mmst_streaming_read handle the different
server commands received (including receiving the MMS header and the ASF
header).

It seems that the server sometimes doesn't send out the headers out (at
least from what I'm gathering from the asfrecorder source).  I will just
setup a switch statement and let it process different commands as they
come in.
