you want to stream individual clips, Icecast is not
for<BR>> you. Your
web<BR>> server will do.
The most usual way of getting an
external<BR>> player to
play<BR>> the clip
streaming, instead of downloading it first, is
to<BR>> create
a<BR>> playlist file
(possibly generated on the fly) for each
clip.<BR>> This
would<BR>> then be
downloaded, opened by the external player, which
then<BR>>
streams<BR>> the clip from
your<BR>> web
server.<BR>><BR>>
Icecast is for live streaming of audio and would not improve
your<BR>> situation of your
delivering on-demand clips. For
streaming<BR>> with an
external player, it uses the same method as I
outlined<BR>> above
and<BR>> acts as a web
server that only transfers the
audio<BR>> at the same rate
it is created by the live
feed.<BR>><BR>>
