I am trying it now, you can do it also at http://mcrg.uib.es:8000/live.ogg

<p>It's configured with a prebuffering of 5 seconds, and a maxlag of 10 seconds. 
If a refbuf for a given client exceeds 10 seconds, and it's not a partial 
packets, it is silently discarded and removed. The "core" is shown below:

if(abuf->timestamp > 0 &&  /* only if has timestamp */
    client->pos == 0 && /* give a chance to partial packets */
    abuf->timestamp < (now - maxlag) /* packet too delayed, discard */ ) {
   /* almost a no-op */
   printf("DEBUG: discarding %d bytes from queue!!! LAG=%d MAXLAG=%d\n",      
              bytes, now - abuf->timestamp, maxlag);
} else {
  printf("DEBUG: sending %d bytes from queue...\n", bytes);
  sbytes = sock_write_bytes(client->con->sock, abuf->data[client->pos], 
bytes);
