The current streaming implementation allows for chunks of data to be lost in VSSH's default select{} cases, if volumes of data arrive at a rate too high to be processed. The default cases get selected when the write channel buffer becomes full and would block. This patch puts a client into a streaming mode when the GetStream() function is called, which causes a blocking select{} to be used until the streaming mode is ended.
