I believe they send encrypted audio through the flash player? That might be the reason they have kept it through all revisions.

I would assume that this is the reason.

This is one of the major limitations of the HTML5 + Javascript stack, and one that will have to be solved before we see even more widespread use on services like Hulu or Netflix.

Wireshark doesn't say it's encrypted.

It might not say it is encrypted, but I doubt the publishers/who ever they have deals with to stay legal would allow them to transfer copyrighted materials in the clear.
