Thanks a lot. This answers my question whether anyone is using streaming Ogg 
Theora already. (Or did VLC download the entire file and play it locally? It 
would make a difference for a 100 MB file where you notice after 10 seconds of 
watching that it's not interesting...)

Anyway, does anyone know where I can find information about setting up a 
streaming Theora server, then? I seem to have problems finding a place to start 
(Icecast doesn't seem to be the right place...). Someone posted a link to a 
"StreamingVorbis" page earlier. Does the same exist for Theora?

I'd really like to see for myself whether this is easy to set up, so that I can 
suggest this to web site maintainers and keep a straight face.


Kind Regards,
M.F.
