Streaming Formats

[Scott Prive]

Given the bandwidth requirements of .shn -- even on a home LAN -- I would not bother streaming that format. Instead, I would shell script to decompress the SHN files on the fly, and pipe it to oggenc. You can realtime ogg encode, unless your CPU is marginal.

You'll take a small hit on the CPU during encode, but if you don't you'll take an (even bigger?) hit on the network.
