tmpfs ram for transcode volume?

[jp83]

Has anybody using kube-plex considered using ram for transcoding or was that a passing fad? It seems you'd need to define an EmtpyDir volume, since by definition it's not a "persistent" volume you can associate.

Architecturally, does the distributed transcoding rely on shared storage or a network socket to pass data back from worker to stream out? Haven't quite gotten that to work yet either, but I guess that could potentially be a show stopper to my tmpfs idea.
