Sure. I'm currently in the situation, that I need to write a stream 
server capable of handling various sources (database, files, http, 
etc...) and various formats (images, videos, etc..). And as we've 
already learned, it's well worth thinking about a good abstraction for 
such streaming tasks. The IConsumer/IProducer pair seems to be the right 
thing, but if the API isn't stable (AFAIR semi-stable is stated in the 
documentation)...

Okay, thank you very much for the pointers. I'll investigate further ;-)
