I mean that the Flash platform has the concept of a NetStream Buffer that fills
and flushes and I'm trying to understand how is this modeled in Gnash.

A thread should be fillign the buffer, and another thread should be flushing
it (by displaying portions of it).

LoadThread::getBytesLoaded() is likely *not* this buffer, for a couple of 
reasons:

        1) Can't be misured with "time" units (just bytes)
        2) Never flushes
