to make a stream startup with a simple click you need to:

- be sure the mime-type "audio/x-mpegurl" exists for your webserver and
  points to the .m3u extension
- put the url of your stream (i.e. http://mysrv.org:8000/live) into a
  .m3u file, as a single line newline terminated
- link to that .m3u file into your html page with a normal <a href> tag

btw i think a FAQ about audio-streaming would be really needed, if you
are going to do it i'd help as i can.
