Hi there,
   
   From: Jack Moffitt <jack at icecast.org>

   I have set up a semi-permanent test stream for people to bang on at:
   http://i.cantcode.com:8888/ices.ogg
   Please report any problems you have.

I could hear this stream by JOrbisPlayer.
I am sorry to trouble you, but may I add some issues about JOrbisPlayer
to following list?  
   
   CLIENT ISSUES
   -----------------
   
   ogg123 -  mostly broken in regards to streaming.  the "W: stream error"
   message (or whatever similar message) is normal.  ogg123's streaming is
   likely to be rewritten at some point, definately before the next major
   vorbis release.
   
   xmms - works great.  no known issues.  BUT you need the at least the
   beta4 vorbis plugin (cvs if you can get it) AND (and this is extremely
   important) the CVS version of the mpg123 input plugin.  Symptoms of not
   upgrading your mpg123 plugin include constant rebuffering.  If you
   report this error without upgrading the mpg123 plugin, I will probably
   slap you :)
   
   freeamp - vakor has been working with the freeamp guys.  You'll need
   whatever the latest version is, possibly the latest beta version.
   afaik, there are no known issues with freeamp streaming.
   
   winamp - the beta4 plugin includes streaming, but it's horribly bad,
   just like ogg123.  The entire winamp plugin is scheduled for a rewrite,
   or at the very least a severe gutting.  Winamp streaming _does_ work,
   but your mileage may vary.
   
JOribsPlayer - you need J2SE 1.3 (or later); Java Plug-in. If you have it,
open following URL by the web browser,
http://www.jcraft.com/jorbis/player/JOrbisPlayer.php?play=http://i.cantcode.com:8888/ices.ogg
I have found that some messages like "Corrupt or missing data in bitstreams...."
have been printed out on Java console.

Thanks,
