Not out of the box.

You'll need to buffer the data from the original stream in a FIFO manner, discarding only data which has been read by all "reader" streams.

I'd use:

• A "management" object holding some sort of queue of byte[] holding the chunks to be buffered and reading additional data from the source stream if required
• Some "reader" instances which known where and on what buffer they are reading, and which request the next chunk from the "management" and notify it when they don't use a chunk anymore, so that it may be removed from the queue
