For flv, player just reports byte position to start downloading
from, as calculated (by the player) from embedded metadata.

Basically player may do the same thing without any server modules -
just by using normal http partial downloads via Range header. No
idea why they don't do this - probably the reason is limited http
client support inside Flash.

For mp4, player reports times, and this won't work without module
which is able to parse mp4 file content and convert this to byte
positions (and a bunch of server-side work otherwise unneeded).
No idea why people use this for streaming.
