<DIV><FONT face=Arial>I am loving this streaming capability, but now I have come
upon a new problem: A gif animation consisting of 13 frames (and related
to the ogg file) does not animate when I begin to stream the ogg file. Of course
I realize that animated gif's are not a subject of this forum, but I thought it
might possibly draw a comment that helps me solve this.</FONT></DIV>

you want to stream various static files on demand to your users, <BR>icecast
still isn't necessary. You can request transparent hand-off<BR>of the stream
url to a player application by linking to a .m3u or<BR>shoutcast playlist
file. This is just a text file that contains the<BR>actual file url. The
browser will launch the player and give it the<BR>playlist file; the player
can then stream the file directly from<BR>your
webserver.</BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
