This probably shows my ignorance in the area but... if you have the
inclination to put up with what probably seem like a "basic" questions....
What are Ogg's problems with streaming?  And how does NUT fix this problem?

(I by no means consider myself an expert in this area.  So I'd really
appreciate any answer to this as it would help me educate myself on in this
area.)


See ya
