Not only that, maybe its possible to write plugs for RealServer or/and
QTSS. Personally I would prefer the QTSS, native support
for Vorbis for QTSS (Darwin Server). I am working with a Kasenna
MediaBase server that does MP3, MPEG-1, MPEG-2, QT and Real (through
API). It would be very very very cool if Vorbis would be streamable
through a serverplatform like Kasenna MediaBase or QT. Unfortunately
I am NOT a programmer (far from it, even PERL poses difficulties for
me ;-) so I cannot help building this...but I am sure Kasenna and
Apple are willing to give it a try (I am not sure about Real, they are
not very cooperative with stuff like this).

<Quote from Kasenna admin quide>
Universal Delivery Service (UDS) is a MediaBase delivery pump that is
responsible for streaming variable and constant bit rate (VBR and CBR) media. 
DS is designed to be a universal service that is capable of working
with a variety of media formats, and deliver both on-disk and live content
via unicasts, multicasts, and simulated-multicasts.

So IMHO it must be possible to do it.
