  Streaming Media
Streaming Media is media (audio, video, or graphics) that is delivered as a stream of data, and played as it is received.
The process of streaming starts when a media file is broken into smaller pieces so it can be transferred and played as each of the pieces is received, rather than waiting for the whole file to be transferred before playback starts.
The data stream originates on the Internet, is transferred by modem to your computer, is decoded by a media player, and is then viewed by a consumer.

 Steve C. Orr - Streaming Media   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Windows Media Player certainly is a leader in the field of media playback; it provides rich support for many media file types and it provides an experience with which most users are already quite familiar.
Beware: Streaming media tends to eat large amounts of bandwidth, so if your goal is to create a streaming media Web site with any significant amount of scalability, you’re going to need fat pipes to go along with beefy servers.
One of the best things about having a media control on a Web page is that it allows you to suggest a musical overture that matches your Web site’s ambiance, but at the same time allows the user to take control of the experience in case they’re just not in the mood.

 LinuxDevCenter.com -- Streaming Media With Linux
Streaming audio is a subset of the more general topic of network broadcast multimedia, a subject far too broad to treat here, even focusing solely upon Linux software.
Streaming connections are enabled by linking the client to the URL of a file or playlist of files streamed from the broadcast server; the URL is passed to the client either by specifying it at the command prompt, entering it in a dialog box, or activating a link within a web browser.
The sound quality of streaming audio is dependent on the stream's bit-rate: Higher bit-rates raise the quality of the audio stream but use up more of your network capacity, lowering the number of possible connections.

 Streaming Media | Computing @ UW-Madison
Streaming media technology enables you to include audio, video and other multimedia files into your web site, enriching the experience for your visitors and allowing you to convey information in a more meaningful and engaging manner.
When a user clicks on a media link on a web page, the contents of the media file begin to flow across the Internet in a gradual and continuous stream from the streaming server to the user’s browser (i.e., the “stream” in streaming media).
The source material for streams can be either prerecorded material or live video presentations (from historical reenactments to lab demonstrations to distinguished speakers), providing a gold mine of teaching aids for instructors and valuable archival records for event planners.

 Creating Streaming Media at CSU
Streaming is the process of taking a large media file that has been requested, and transmitting small, continuous amounts of that file over the network or Internet, much like an actual stream of water flows down a mountainside.
When creating the streaming media, it is important to optimize the media for the speed of the connection over which the media is being streamed.
This is because the streaming media server is specifically designed to deteWMVine the speed of the connection to the streaming media file, and to stream the file at the optimum speed for the particular connection.

 What is streaming? - A Word Definition From the Webopedia Computer Dictionary
Streaming technologies are becoming increasingly important with the growth of the Internet because most users do not have fast enough access to download large multimedia files quickly.
For streaming to work, the client side receiving the data must be able to collect the data and send it as a steady stream to the application that is processing the data and converting it to sound or pictures.
This means that if the streaming client receives the data more quickly than required, it needs to save the excess data in a buffer.

 Streaming Media
The alternative is to use streaming media, where the application doesn't have to wait for the whole file to arrive before it starts playing it.
Partly this is solved by buffering- the streaming media client waits until it has some of the file in memory before it starts playing then, if the connection is a bit shaky, it can carry on playing whilst the connection catches up.
At the other end, decent streaming media servers are clever enough to figure out the speed of the connection and to reduce or improve the quality to match (e.g.

 Streaming Media
Streaming is the transmission of data (multimedia) commonly video, audio and images from the server to the client's desktop, where the client plays or decodes the data as it is received.
Whereas in the case of streaming the content can be displayed as it loads, users need not to wait for the content to download and content will never get stored in the clients machine.
The streaming video can be a live broadcast of an event or presentation, or an 'on-demand' playback of pre-recorded video.

 Microsoft Windows Media - Intelligent Streaming
Intelligent streaming is a set of features in Microsoft® Windows Media® Technologies that automatically detects network conditions and adjusts the properties of a stream to maximize the quality of the user experience.
When Windows Media Player connects to a Windows Media server to receive a multiple-bit-rate Windows Media file or broadcast stream, the server only sends the set of audio and video streams that is the most appropriate for current bandwidth conditions.
The goal when using intelligent streaming is to make bit rates and bandwidth transparent to the user; the user should only be aware of the content, not all the processes that work together to deliver it.
