[icecast] Re [ogg]

[Raymond]

I have ices2 working.

How about creating a link on a webpage and then having a person go to it 
with their browser and clicking on the link and then having the player 
automatically open the file at the beginning...is this possible?

That is how I have set up all the prior icecast servers. The client just 
clicks the link and the file starts playing from the beginning.

http://url:8002/playlist.pls?mount=/file/mit/whoownsresearchandteaching.mp3&file=dummy.pls

The above is a typical link that automatically starts either real or 
winamp depending the browser settings.

Is this possible with ogg files? Maybe I just need to know what the link 
should look like?
