I like the idea of using MP3 but not being MP3 savy wan't sure that clients
support streaming MP3. Also the encoding would have to be at less than
33kbps so it will play properly over modem lines. The slide/chapter info
could be encoded into the ID3 tags and users could request any slide from
the playlist. I'll have to dig a bit into Mike Oliphant's Grip or LAME to do
the encoding. I am wondering if icecast software would work well for this
application.
