Example

# Stream the whole media
async for chunk in app.stream_media(message):
    print(len(chunk))

# Stream the first 3 chunks only
async for chunk in app.stream_media(message, limit=3):
    print(len(chunk))

# Stream the rest of the media by skipping the first 3 chunks
async for chunk in app.stream_media(message, offset=3):
    print(len(chunk))

# Stream the last 3 chunks only (negative offset)
async for chunk in app.stream_media(message, offset=-3):
    print(len(chunk))
