2 May 2001 Can the Ogg Vorbis program be used to stream live audio over the Internet? Or is it restricted to the creation of files that have to be downloaded and then played on a computer? Put another way, can Ogg Vorbis doe what "Real Audio" does, but without the onerous restrictions?

But this is just a matter of time, ogg/vorbis tools are getting better and better :). --- >8 ---- List archives: http://www.xiph.org/archives/ Ogg project homepage: http://www.xiph.org/ogg/ To unsubscribe from this list, send a message to 'vorbis-request@xiph.org' containing only the word 'unsubscribe' in the body.

Yes icecast2 will stream vorbis. It's not quite to a public release yet, but if you're feeling brave, you can test it. http://i.cantcode.com/~jack/icecast.html jack.
