Live streaming in Chrome

[pwiseman]

As others have reported, live streaming does not work in Chrome. I took a look at the source code for the feed page, and noticed this:

var canStreamNative = false;

I searched for canStreamNative in functions.php, and found its eponymous function, preventing Chrome from streaming:

function canStreamNative()
{
// Chrome can display the stream, but then it blocks everything else (Chrome bug 5876)
// return( ZM_WEB_CAN_STREAM == "yes" || ( ZM_WEB_CAN_STREAM == "auto" && (!isInternetExplorer() && !isChrome()) ) );
return( ZM_WEB_CAN_STREAM == "yes" || ( ZM_WEB_CAN_STREAM == "auto" && (!isInternetExplorer()) ) );
}

I edited it, as you see, commenting out the original line and replacing it with one removing the isChrome() test. I did no research on the referenced bug, but my streaming is now working and Chrome seems otherwise unaffected.
