Vorbis - Aug 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

You can send the output from the example encoder straight to a network
socket or any other stream, and similarly take the input from a stream
as well.  The only 'file based' aspect of the encoder example is
sort-of kind-of expecting a WAV header.  You can modify it to expect
anything at all.

The Vorbis libs do not need any duration information; unlike WAV, that
information is not required for any kind of header.  Ogg and Vorbis
are both true streaming formats and are fully function in a single
streaming pass.
