[vorbis] Ogg Vorbis and streaming

[Henri Jylkka]

Hi. I'd like to ask a little about where Ogg stands today when it comes
to streaming audio.

The VBR has been the main argument in the incompatibility for streaming
but has this changed somehow or will it? Is there something else
besides quick and large scaled bandwith usage variations and the
difficulty of buffering, that could cause problems?

CBR could be used but some people say that it reduces the sound
quality. When doing some test listnening I couldn't tell much
differences between VBR and CBR but I might as well be half-deaf.. I'd
like to get the most out of Ogg potential by using VBR but if it means
problems with streaming or some listeners not being able to listen at
all, then I will choose CBR.
