[vorbis] streaming ogg audio

[figyu]

hi people,

i have been a read-only member here, but now i must figure out something
related to streaming, hope you're be able to answer it.
i'm at a user level to all this stuff.

o, if i listen to a streamed ogg file (enter url into winamp, eg), the seek
bar never shows up, nor the position of where the playback is at any given
moment. the file length is also not known or shown. you can only stop it and
start again right from the beginning.
however, this all works with an mp3.

we would need this to stream ogg for a radio station, but listeners would
not possibly put up with this not-being-able-to-seek-anywhere.
is it because of certain winamp shortcomings with vorbis streams or is it
down to ogg vorbis rc3 solely?

what do you think about this?

thanks anyone bothering to answer.
