No clashes with my work here. I'm mainly focusing on the MMST protocol.
My code takes advantage of the fact that MMST usually uses port 1755 by
default. Port 80 is used by some Yahoo radio stations and others.  So
far, I am now able to connect to my test mms stream. I can now get the
ASF header successfully. I had to rewrite the unicode section of the
asf_mmst_streaming_start. I wasn't properly inserting NULL between each
character of the strings  (host IP and protocol type [tcp or udp]). Now,
I can get to work extracting the actual data chunks.
