[rtmpdump] Akamai patch

[Andrew]

Hi David,

I tried adding the -re flag and that didn't make a difference.

I also tried using the Flash player you linked to, but like the other one, it just continues to loop music that I had previously encoded while testing Akamai with Flash Media Encoder.

Do we need to unpublish the existing content in order to send new audio or anything like that? Additionally, I am on FreeBSD, is your patch Linux-only?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'd be more than happy to provide further information or testing.

Thanks!
Andrew
