After some discussion on the channel, and some testing I made with
both gst and ffmpeg using your patch, we decided to commit it.
So it is in the 0.8.2 branch now. 
Thanks a lot.

Next thing to look at (in head) would be proper abstractions to
reduce (ideally drop) ifdefs around and duplication of common code.

In particular, I belive using NetConnection for handlign the actual
data download is the way to go (gstreamer uses its own modules for
that).

For the aux_streamer I still don't know as the whole sound_handler
class is not properly documented as of yet - see top comments in
libmedia/sound_handler.h, the \page section must be written
completely. Documenting works would be appreciated.
