Nothing comes easy in this life

While working on a audio streaming app for distribution in the appstore I stumbled across a problem, there was a mms:// url which refused to play audio, investigating a little revealed the sad true that iOS does not provide any type of native support for mms:// type streams, by visiting Apple forums and Stackoverflow.com I realized that there is way to have it working but working on a mms protocol parser on my own or work with an external library, everything points out that the only solution will be the external lib, devs at Apple forums recommend libfmpeg so I guess I'll take a look at it and see what happens.
