Subject: byte offsets in RTSP PLAY

Definition of range (Section 12.26, RTSP Draft) disallows using
byte offsets. Why?

If a client uses a buffer to store the media stream being played
(say, in the single-step mode) you need to tell the server to
"play the next n bytes" to ensure that a certain amount of data
is always there in the buffer. I propose that we consider adding
this functionality to RTSP.
