Nope, Adobe hasn't said they are going to prevent flv streaming, but also check this out:
"Can you use the Sound class to play back AAC/.mp4a files? No, you have to use the NetStream class. My guess is that we will enhance the Sound class in the future but it might go into a different direction and will not be dedicated to pure playback of static files anymore." He's also talking about sound improvements but they would eventually come via the NetStream class. Therefore, license required. And even if flvs are ok, we wouldn't be able to take advantage of the benefits mp4 is going to bring. Previously, offering the same quality as FMS was just a technical problem. From now onwards it's not, it's just a matter of how much you pay. I agree with Yeng. Now more than ever we have to support GNash.
