Support for live broadcasts would be nice.

The following applies to live broadcasts, and may not apply to saved broadcasts.

Example url: http://mixlr.com/dreamcity/

First, retrieve http://api.mixlr.com/users/dreamcity (the site's web app also specifies ?source=embed&callback=onUserLoad, but source is not required, and we don't want jsonp). Contents look like this:

{                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        [2/23]

Metadata and stream data is in response['broadcasts'][*]. The rtmp format also uses response['rtmp_server'].

I'm not sure whether a single account can have multiple concurrent live broadcasts.

Also not sure how to detect a stream ending - at least rtmp doesn't close the connection when a stream ends.

Adding on to this discussion, it appears that a single account is only allowed one stream at a time.
