Of course I RTFM, I wouldn't ever dream of asking a question in this list if I didn't for fear of looking like a total dick.
I did know about this option, I just wasn't sure if it applied only to
local feeds or not. Since streams are not seekable, I didn't think that
this option applied. So it seems that this functionality is based on
external functions and not info encoded in the feed itself. Good.
Now I know, thanks for your concise (if curt) response.
