Ok the thing is the following: i was shown that realvideo streams can
contain "annotations" that during playback send a

	netscape -remote openURL(xyz)

command. A four-line change to vat (file source.cc) can be used to do
the same when say the "Name:" or "Note:" field of the sender
(transmitted using RTCP) is used to carry the URL to open (or we
can add a new SDES field for this purpose, assuming one does not
already exist).

It's a dirty hack, ok. I think is useful, though, because many times
(e.g.  during a lecture) what you really need are audio and slides,
not really a video of a dancing speaker. So, any objections to
having this in our vat port ?

	cheers
	luigi
