<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hello</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>my name is Richard Emling. I am a blind individual
and i use vlc player to listen to various media content. Sadly, your last
release refuses to work with my screen reading application. Menues aren't read
properly anymore after the update, what forced me to install the previous
version of vlc. Maibe you know what you did change to make the application that
inaccessible and fix it in a next release?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The second question is more technical
nature:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I whant to stream some audio to my local network
and later maibe to the internet using the free ogg format, wich i personaly like
due to its open source character and its high performance and audio quality
compared for example to mp3. Sadly, streaming with vlc isn't that easy for me as
i thought. First i will describe what i did:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>1. Open vlc</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>2. Open the streaming wizard </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>3. select to stream to the network</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>4. select my soundcard as sound source, because i'd
like to do a live stream.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>5. Select ogg as format and entered no address into
the address fields after selecting http as streaming method.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>No the problem:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>If i enter</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><A
href="http://localhost:8080">http://localhost:8080</A></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>into my browser, first nothing happens, then a
download request for a *.part file pops up, that can't be read by a audio
player.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Also i tryed to connect via winamp using the same
address. I am wondering, where you can specify a filename for the stream such as
<A
href="http://localhost:8080/mystream.ogg">http://localhost:8080/mystream.ogg</A></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>after some attempts i gave up and tryed another
format and the unicast streaming method, wich worked very good using an asf
stream. But i wanna stream in ogg. I can't expect every listener of my future
stream to have vlc installed. Is there a way you can help me?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>With gread regards</FONT></DIV>
