Stream is an ARexx script that makes possible to listen to and record an
internet radio, 
also known as shoutcast radio.


 Features:
 
  - CLI driven (so might be used almost everywhere, ex.:by the telnet,in
browser,sheduler...)

  - has append function (which allows u to add new recordings to already
existing file)

  - offers unilimited number of streamers running at the same time

  - uses synchronous buffering when writing to the disk (this minimizes harddisk
performance loss)

  - uses FIFO: by Jörg Höhle instead of PIPE: (which ables u to relink the
decoder)

  - u may drop the audio anytime u want and link it again while still recording
( thanks to FIFO:)

  - uses MPEGA for playback by Stephane TAVENARD

  - has ability to play thru AHI if needed (MPEGA)

  - handles HTTP://,LIST://,PLS://,M3U:// url types
