This is what got me thinking about the problem long ago. I've not got gigabit ethernet, nor that kind of money to sink in to the problem. I don't really care if it's uncompressed, either.
However, I am begining to think this is something that would have to be created from scratch. If anyone else has any thoughts, let us know. Otherwise I will post something with what I find.
