[NTLUG:Discuss] playing streaming audio

   I am using XMMS to access a mp3 file that is actively growing. 
I am recording audio from my line-in input and going direct to .mp3 
using notlame to encode it. I encode it in 60 minute samples. 

   XMMS doesn't 're-read' the .mp3 file as it grows so it has some
issues when you get to the 'what XMMS thinks is the end, but it's not'
posistion in the .mp3 file. XMMS keeps playing, but you can't rewind or
advance past the false end. 

   Does anyone know of a better player to play 'dynamic/streaming' mp3 
files? 

   Also... I am reading the .mp3 file from the disk. I tried to load it 
via a web server but I can't rewind/advance the file. Is there a way to 
really stream via a web server url and still be able to fast forward,
pause, rewind, etc or do I have to read from a samba mounted drive?
