Thanks for your answer, although that's not quite what I'm looking for:

I know it's possible to 'shape' the traffic with altq, so it's possible in
theory to shape certain kind of traffic to almost nihil. Smart devices
like packetshapers (and even some proxy appliances like Blue Coat) have
separate categories for streaming media, so I was wondering if PF and altq
could do the same.

Your solution works, however you'll have to know what sites are being
visited in order to block them entirely.

Peter
