Why would this wind up any differently then Spotify and Skype, two successful products that started out p2p but ended up centralized? It sounds like what you would benefit from is a universal p2p caching layer. We have perhaps a nice foundation for this in plain unencrypted HTTP, just need to add the p2p part... Also, bittorent has proved a good solution for me in similar circumstances to you. I've never tried streaming bittorrent but google tells me it is possible.
