[Might make sense if <network> always defaults to unicast unless stated?] Bitrate: Sean, your point about variable bitrates makes sense. That adds complexity, I suspect. For example (and sorry for using VR as an example), our Windows Media stream is a total of 132k, of which 128k is audio. Yet it is an intellistream which will knock all the way down to 20k if it needs to. What do I put in the bitrate there? 132k? 128k? 20-128k? (Our Real streams are similar: 8k up to 32k). Similarly, our Ogg Vorbis streams are variable, we quite one as "around 20k" and one as "around 160k". Questions, questions... -- http://james.cridland.net/
