The present disclosure provides techniques and solutions for facilitating low-latency media streaming. Streaming techniques include sending or receiving blocks, where a block contains a sequence identifier for a media type and a single discrete sample of a particular media type. The block does not contain a sample of another media type. The sequence identifier can be used for purposes such as reducing the length of a run of blocks of a particular media type, reordering blocks, or duplicating duplicate blocks. The sequence identifiers also facilitate peer-to-peer streaming techniques, as they can assist in processing blocks that are received by a streaming client from multiple peers.
