Hi Juancho, SVG does not actually support streaming, but it does support script-based insertion of data...
What you might be able to do is buffer 5 seconds of animation as SMIL animation as snippets serverside, and send this using scripting and http methods to the browser using Adobe and Batik's getURL or the equivalent http request in ecmascript for FF. Stick the content in groups and make the groups invisible / visible / invisible on a timer sequence, and then delete the groups when they become irrelevant. Then, what you effectively get, is 5-second keys that you get 1-2 seconds to upload. This should be plenty of time to do your streaming animation. The only real problem with this is making sure that your frames are keyed well and that your transfer time is less than your display length.
