[Discuss] live streaming needs flash?

[Eric Chadbourne]

I've heard some smart folks say flash is needed for live streaming and nothing else is nearly as good.  I've heard them say there is no good open source option.  If this is true, why?  Surely there's no magic sauce in there that couldn't be replicated, or even done better.  Is it more of a matter of plugin saturation?  Just curious.
