Feature: streaming workflow

Livepeer currently uses a segmented workflow, where video streams are split into discrete segments. Each segment must be fully received, transcoded, and sent back before it can be sent to viewers.
We aim to transition to a streaming workflow, where video frames or small chunks are processed continuously in real-time. This approach significantly reduces latency, providing near-instant feedback and smoother performance for interactive and live content. It’s a delicate, large-scope change that will require a more thought out plan.
