The only ways this would be possible are if you sync the tarball itself
or if you use a fuse filesystem to mount the tarball and rsync the files
within it.

All,
I'm working in an environment *very* restricted by space, and need to
sync from that location to another location.
So I'd like to be able to sync from a source that is not a filesystem,
like a compressed tarball.
Is this possible with the --files-from argument (or some other such argument)?
We've been running a mirror site for sanesecurity for a few months now, and at
some point I noticed lots of rsync processes clogging up the system. Many
seemed to be just hanging, doing nothing. They have been fork()ed, but they
have not yet dropped privileges. Easily 80-100 of such processes
