10Kb/h doesn't mean much, I'd rephrase it. (depending on the sample 
reate it isn't feasible or trivial)

If the user is using ad editor, much, if the user wants just to play a 
stream nothing...

My reply was just to cut some discussions about goals that are reached

specific usages? IIRC nut was planned to be extendible beside a certain 
baseline.
