I don't know why FX Media isn't in the FX 8 API docs, but that's clearly an error. Please file a bug on that.
In the meantime, you should look at the FX 2 media docs, there isn't a lot of change from FX2 media in FX8. Buffering and streaming (HTTP Live Streaming) are both supported, as is playback from a URL.
