Gero, does your streaming server support range requests? We see this issue
pretty frequently with Chrome and servers which don't support range
requests. See http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=110309 for
an example of this type of issue. Specifically you'll want to look at the
Accept-Ranges and Range fields in the http headers.
