In fact with stream I did mean _any form_ of the frames. 
Other wise you may say it is comming from /dev/video and "in *nix all is a file"
The name stream did sound good for me compare with i.e. th stream used in gambas.
On the web it is also used as streaming audio/video media.

It was just a general name to have.
