Should this be carried forward to D7?
I've been reading up on Fields and believe that in D7 this should be based on Fields. I'd developed a CCK version of this module but don't think it to be worthwhile to clean that up for regular release.
I noticed a duplicate module: http://drupal.org/project/swflink .. it is a CCK module that accepts a URL, uses SWFtools to display it, and adds an enclosure element. It however misses the other fields which this module supports (size, mime type, title). It's curious why he created that duplicate module but obviously there should be an attempt to join forces.
The result should be
- Port to D7
- Fields for information storage and display (the D7 version of #565904: Add CCK support )
- SWFtools (optional) for display (#178004: embedded media field)
- Additional customization
--- Additional options on when to display this field (may be moot by Fields display options)
--- Whether to display using SWFtools in a) full node, b) teaser, c) RSS
- Attach appropriate enclosure tag to atom feeds as well as RSS (is atom supported in core drupal?)

zany commentedThere is Media for D7. As Benjamen points out: you need Remote Stream Wrapper too.

benjamenjohnson commentedFYI: The Media module for D7 is unusable for me, the 1.x version won't handle audio fields and the 2.x version is very unstable.
It doesn't seem to be a valid solution right now.
UPDATE!
Using media 7.x-1.x-dev
and
Remote stream wrapper 7.x-1.0-beta2
I was finally able to create an RSS stream with a remote URL as the enclosure
The key is Remote Stream Wrapper
