Actually, if you use a non degenerate Ogg stream you could put multiple
ogg streams (same wav, diferent bitrates) in one ogg file. You shouldn't
need much work on a server that already supports bitrate negotiation to
use this kind of file. Or you could build your own by encoding multiple
time and concatenating (thou it's different than multiplexing). But we
have all that's needed today. We only need someone to put it together. I
think it's quite a lot easier than making a peelable encoder and a
peeler. It seems like a week of work to get something working (iff you
have a server and client that already adjust bitrates).
