Do it yourself. Please. Or try to sound a bit nicer. You are being rude.
We all do the work for free, giving considerable amounts of time and effort
to the project. You only want to have free stuff. If you want good, streaming
audio, and (as you say so yourself) mp3 is the only thing that delivers it,
just pay them. That's how the world works; you don't like it, just
change it.
(Or at least try to). Btw, your talking to the wrong people here; Vorbis _is_
already streaming, maybe your favourite tool doesn't support it yet, but you
should speak to the makers of that tool to get it supported, not to us.

Sorry if I sound harsh,

Segher
