Hello,<br><br>I've tried to use live media libraries with MPlayer for streaming audio files over RTSP and it is successful. <br><br>However there's something that I'm not sure with. When a wav file or raw pcm audio data is streamed, I found that a buffer will be used to preload some data (few seconds, related with audio file's bitrate) before MPlayer starts playing. And if it is a mp3 file, there is no preloading. I would like to ask what this buffer could be and why it is used only for some specific formats. Anyone can give me some advice? Thanks!<br>
