Yesterday I spoke with the IUMA team (www.iuma.com) and they would be glad
to help us set up an Obs server that streams real live IUMA music via the
MBONE. Ian Rose has volunteered to get a few MBONE addresses for us to use
for this purpose -- so its currently in the works to go and set up a real
Obs server that people on the MBONE can listen to.
