[winswitch] Off Topic: How to stream audio from a linux app to a browser

[tzahi ml]

Tried that but there is a 3 sec delay (which is better than simply
icecasting but still)... good to know though.
Wish there was a way to get it to 1 sec. that would be totally acceptable.
All these are transcoding the sound into mp3/ogg and this requires some
kind of buffering which takes at least 3 sec.
The only way i see is to send the data as is to the browser and play it.
But, that sounds like scifi to me.
Xpra html5 could encode the audio in the h264 stream when it will be
available.
Seems like the only way to get good results.
