[NTLUG:Discuss] playing streaming audio

[gan hawk]

Hi,

mplayer can do that. mplayer can play streaming mp3 as well as raw encoded 
streams. As far as playing from web server, I have not come across anyone 
doing it. But I think it can be done only once you download the entire 
stream or cache it, and generate the index.
