Hello,

yes, I am talking about streaming content, but I think I should replace
"caching" with "multiplexing"...
What I mean is if one user is listening to one station it will create a
certain amount of traffic. If e.g. ten users are listening to the same
station, the traffic will increase ten times. What I want is to
multiplex a live stream to multiple users, either without the user
noticing (preferred) or by redirecting them by acl or whatever. This
would give a group of users the possibility to use webradio without
putting to much load on the line.
