Just catch everything in the background, play the full ad on mute, and when the ad segment is coming up in the stream you are actually watching, switch to the cached copy. Shouldn't be too hard to program.
How about replacing them with something nicer, like just showing “Take a moment to pause…” screen with audio muted/relaxing music background?
Sure, I'd take that over ads anytime.
