In a on_demand server the odds of a listener wanting to listening to the
same song,at the same time of another listener is practically zero.

About the encoded streams i guess that as a user it would be nice, even if
the stream is not fully operational.
Maybe something like these classes:
AbstractBasicSource(Can't be used for transition operations but can be used
for rotate,switch etc without a transition effect)
|_EncodedSource
|_Source(The source as we have today, it can get transitions functions and
etc,will be encoded to be listened)

But then again, LS is used for powerful stream management, and if one
already have the encoded streams end etc maybe creating a socket application
would be enough and the already encoded streams wouldn't be really used to
justify it creation.
