The Ogg team's claim of streaming is purely proaganda. The Ogg format
is not "streamable" in the sense that you have to buffer large chunks
before you can write them, or else have HUGE overhead.

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.)
