[vorbis] KPFA live vorbis stream ... anyone for a WBAI stream as well?

[boink]

hello!

while on the Pacifica thread, I would like to offer bandwidth to anyone
who can get a WBAI ogg stream up and running as well. 

I've made the offer to the guy who does the WBAI mp3 stream, but I don't
think he has the time to do that as well.

WBAI does only a mp3 stream (encoded on a windows box, using oddsock's
software), however, it would be great if WBAI could also have an ogg
stream.

during the "hacker" show, "Off The Hook" (broadcasted at 0 UTC, 7 pm New
York City time), there is an ogg stream, but sadly it's not 24/7. 

cheers,

b.
