hi everyone

i have a really strange problem with my streaming flv. its not visible in firefox or 2.0.0.3 on winxp sp2 but the audio starts right away. on other browsers it buffers for some seconds and then commences as it does locally.

attached the useful code snippet. should i change something???

many thanks!
