[squid-users] does squid handle non-HTTP streaming for Windows Media Player?

I've got squid 2.2.STABLE1 running on linux 2.2, it works both with web
browsers and with Windows Media Player, but only on streams that do HTTP
rollover. Streams that don't rollover to HTTP, don't play. I've managed
to find out that there are two other protocols, mmsu which uses UDP (first
it TCP's to port 1755 and negotiates which UDP port to use, but I don't
have any info about the messages sent over either TCP or UDP), and mmst
which uses TCP (I'm not sure what ports it uses or what the messages look
like). Can squid deal with either of these? There is not much
documentation on these protocols, Microsoft seems not to have released the
information.

TCP port 1755 is already in Safe_ports in the squid config file, it opens
1025-65535.

If not, does anyone know of another program that runs on linux that could
act as a proxy for WMP streams, or where there might be some documentation
about the protocols so I could write my own? From dicussions with other
people who want to access one of the streams, it appears that this isn't
something that only I need, there are a lot of people who could benefit.

thanks
