Another method of streaming audio via iTunes
Authored by: fracai on Nov 13, '06 09:48:44AM

you could stream to multiple hosts (at least in a small network) by sending to a multicast group over udp.

you might save some time by encoding the output of esd to mp3 before you broadcast, but encoding on the receiving end is pretty useless.

you might save some bandwidth
saving time only if you benefit from the tradeoff of less bandwidth and more cpu time.

Hmm... Haven't thought of using it as multicast streamer. May be because there is only one consumer?
