According to http://lists.mplayerhq.hu/pipermail/ffmpeg-user/2007-December/012802.html the Fast Start thingie isn’t needed any more…

the atom is nolonger needed in itunes versions since 7.4.2. tested with both ipod and ipod touch, and iphone very soon 🙂

Hmm, might be true for iTunes, but what about Firefly?

I’m guessing this has to do with the specific DAAP implementation in question…I guess Ron would have to comment on that, but I would be surprised if he’s made any major changes to DAAP in Firefly in awhile.

Also not sure what DAPs (i.e. ipod, ipod touch, and iphone) really have to do with this since as I have always understood it, the fast-start streaming issue with mp4 metadata has to do with streaming/sharing…not strictly decoding/playing.
