Vorbis - Mar 2007 - example code with streaming

Hello,

I'm looking at vorbis for sending live audio over a network.  This would
probably
be
running on an embedded system (some challenges there, but that's ok).
I've used the encoder example to get things compiling/running with sample
data,
but it seems to file based.  Is there an example for streaming live audio?

A secondary problem I may be running into is the amount of time to encode.
I'll look into that next, but if there are any tips I'd appreciate it.

Best regards,
Dave

The examples write to a file, but they don't seek, so you can write to a 
network stream as well.

Take a look at oggfwd or exstream for examples:

Or the libshout library, if you're writing your own application:

The reference encoder is floating point, so performance is often an 
issue on embedded devices.

Hope that helps,
