Squid does this on HTTP requests.

To do stream splitting of native streaming protocols require

   a) Detail knowledge of the protocol in question
   b) A proxy implementing the specific streaming protocol.

Squid is a HTTP proxy, and aims for neither of the above.

In addition most vendors do not seem to want Open-Souce developers to gain
detailed knowledge of their streaming protocols.
