 Perhaps :

   acl download rep_mime_type ^video/ ^audio/
   http_access deny download

 But nearly impossible to circumvent all possible
 workarounds.
 The problem can be more pinpointed if a particular
 reader is targeted. RealPlayer e.d because filters
 can be pinpointed then. (E.g set trip_query_terms off in
 squid.conf) to detect other url params and build
 adequate access controls.

 In general I would like to see more a concept
 of 'netquota' being put on FD's reading from the Net.
 Then if quota exceed , block originating url for
 a configurable amount of time. This of course
 already introduces a problem of
 maintaining a 'block state' in squid, I know.
