Hello.
If I understood correctly, several companies are wanting patent
royalties for streaming compressed audio from the network.
Take a look at mpg321 (GPL clone of mpg123):
Usage: mpg123 [options] file(s) | URL(s) | -
So, this playing from the network URLs is no no, or what?
What other software are able to play a compressed audio from
the network?
Well, XMMS is streaming a big 256 kbps file from my site as I type
this. I think "Play Location" has been using streaming for quite some
time. (And now it even manages to break up a bit, so I'm quite sure
it's streaming. ;-)
However, I don't know what decoder XMMS uses...
