We currently have a lot of free space on audio-video, so we can host a
big file as well.  However I'd propose to replace it later with a
smaller version, when it's ready.

Good.  For my tastes 4GB still feels a little too large particularly
when streaming in real time, but we can host that as well if you want;
700MB is a good size.

In my view http://audio-video.gnu.org is particularly useful to people
who are not yet familiar with the free software movement, so I think we
should try to make streaming easy.
