The players allow rewinding the "stream" (let's call it
pseudostreaming). This fully depends on the player. If it progressively
downloads the file, there's no problem to move forth and back in the
already downloaded part. See forums on the flowplayer or other ones.

You can set the port number to whatever you like and the protocol as well.
There might be some issues here and there, and, it seems there is no
maintainer for ffmpeg, since there are many answers missing in this
forum. People are looking for working examples and for better documentation.
