Yes, it's usable, thanks to Albeu who help me.
We just need the prebuffer stuff and it can be enable by default. :))
In the ASF header, they're is an preroll field that contains the amount
of time to bufferize before starting playing. 
To handle that I need to keep track of the timestamp of the first packet and
bufferize until I receive a packet's timestamp that will  make the difference
with the first packet greater than the preroll. That requires some trick
in the asf demuxer. But for beginning we can hard code the value.

The ASX is not handle yet, but that's not a big deal.

QuickTime streaming. They use RTSP/RTP.
