Details

I just tried http://aminutewithbrendan.com in yesterday's nightly and found that streaming audio is reporting the cursor according to (AFAICT) the ratio

      total played so far
    -----------------------
    total downloaded so far

This isn't a useful ratio for the user to see. Worse, since the total downloaded so far is increasing, the cursor actually moves back and forth as the clip plays. This is distracting and confusing.

Since we don't know the stream length, we can't report

      total played so far
    -----------------------
         stream length

So I suspect we'd be better off doing what 3.6 does, which is just to leave the cursor at the rightmost point.
