[vorbis-dev] Determining stream type

[Martin C. Martin]

Hey Mike,

Thanks for the quick response.  How do the headers affect streaming
currently?  i.e. if you tune in to an icecast boadcast half way through
a song, does the server send a header packet, then skip the first half
of the song, then send a middle-of-song packet?  I had pictured the
decoder just picking up in the middle of a physical bitstream, but it
seems the header info is needed to initialize the decoder.  Can you
clarify?

Thanks,
Martin
