Any workarounds to NetStream not reporting bytesLoaded on AIR 3.0+ for iOS?

Hey all,

I gave in a while back and just used Darkredz StageWebView and VideoPlayer ANE to get around this. It's been quite a long time and I'd really love to know the underlying reason as to why such a basic and vital attribute isn't wired into the AIR SDK. But alas to this day, as the documentation clearly states:

http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/flash/net/NetStream.html#bytesLoaded

Note: This property is not supported for H.264 video in AIR 3.0 for iOS.

This makes me a sad panda. Has anyone found a workaround beyond the above mentioned ANE?
