Combine different steams into a recorded stream.

Note: A stream that plays from a remote server by means of the NetConnection object is a live stream.

"Enhanced seeking" flag at the server. "Enhanced seeking" is a Boolean flag in the
Application.xml file. By default, this flag is set to
the closest video keyframe possible and starts from that keyframe. For example, if you want to
play at time 15, and there are keyframes only at time 11 and time 17, seeking will start from time
17 instead of time 15. This is an approximate seeking method that works well with compressed
streams.
