I guess I use it all the time.  Although at first I didnt even realize 
that adobe did this by default.

It wasnt until I replaced adobe with ffmpeg that I realized this was 
happening.

Not sure about the time stamps.  Havent really studied that part of it.  
I know it simply resumes broadcasting once the connection has been 
established.

I could provide a copy of the log from adobe if you feel it would help.
