I'd still be for implementing some sort of source-independent caching thing ;)
That is, I think one could even cache based on other stream properties, not
only resource URI but eventually time-stamps. What do you think? For example a
demuxer might be able to cache its previous output on a VoD stream and thus
could immediatly resume playing at any point even if all the downstream queues
have been flushed. It might be a new concept of efficient re-buffering? I have
seen that a lot of time in adaptive streaming performance when seeking the
issue is the retention of previously played content. But maybe this also goes
way beyond the frame of the initial post here.

@Sean-Der So until now I lacked the time to pursue this. Have you gotten any
progress in this? :)
