[vorbis-dev] Streaming Considerations.

[Adam Scriven]

Hello,

I'm not sure which list, so I'll post it to both.

I was thinking about this streaming thing again (thankfully, not about the 
info stream, but the audio stream. 8-) ), and I was wondering if it would 
be streamable like MP3, or more like Real Audio.  MP3 players, like WinAMP, 
can stream without a special server.  This may not be as reliable, 
streaming over HTTP, but it is quite handy.  Will this be possible with 
Vorbis (dependent on the plug-ins)?  And, if it IS possible, it should also 
pre-buffer the next coming song, if possible, so that the audio stream 
pauses as little as possible between songs, similar to how WinAMP does it.

Thanks for any info!
