[Live-devel] streaming WAV files...

[Matthew Romaine]

hm, the connection seems to be timing out; i'm connecting from Tokyo, 
so maybe the bandwidth isn't quite enough (assuming you're somewhere in 
the U.S.)

i'll take your word for it that it works; i'll see if i can track it 
down; i'm going to assume since streaming mp3s works, it's an issue 
with reading the wav file and not with network packetizing.

i'm not very familiar with network code, so if you think of places in 
the pipeline where byte-packing might be influenced by endianness, do 
let me know.

thnx,
matt
