VB6 streaming routines that will work with the iTouch/Phone

[CC]

Hi all,

I have written a small VB6 application which allows me to play songs
on my win XP machine using my iTouch as a remote player / control. I'm
using the VB6
winsock control to talk ajax between my WinXP pc and iTouch, for
search & browse I'm using sql through adodb on a access mdb. Sofar so
good, I'm able to flick, search & browse through my 50K+ song
collection and can even remote control the mediaplayer object builtin
to the VB app. The only problem I have is with streaming audio into
the iTouch itself. When I run IIS and tell my dear iTouch embed tag to
fetch for example http://myxppc/media/song.mp3 everything works fine.
I would however like to get rid of the IIS dependency to avoid users
from getting lost in the wonderfull XP iis setup process and also save
them some money (iis requires XP pro). The problem is that I have not
yet been able to get my VB6 streamroutine to work with the iTouch.
All other webclients running FF or IE stream just fine using either
Mediaplayer or any one of the flashplayers out there. But not with the
iTouch. I've done some digging and found a late 2007 post by
mickey9801 who seems to have bumped into a simmilar problem. When I
set a watch on the winsock incoming data event I also am seeing the
iTouch QT player sending 2 connection requests with different
clientID's (CoreMedia / iPod). I've tried to find an answer on the
apple dev pages as on how to stuff the QT player with the proper
answers but sofar have been unsucces full in doing so. So my Q's are:

* Does anybody know what data I must feed QT to get going ? the Apple
dev doc mention hints, is this something I should look for ? Just a
link to a useful reference page would be great too.
* Are there any VB6 addicts with simmilar problems / interests that
like to share thoughts, problems, solutions, beer ?

Cheers - CC
