You don't want to use TCP for streaming (due to latency), but RTP/UDP. Retransmission is typically handled in the RTP stack. Different retransmission strategies can be put in place. For example, for video, you don't need to retransmit past frames since they would arrive past their display time. For audio, you don't want to miss any packet or else you will hear glitches.
