Yeah, live streams are nothing. You could push several thousand from any
p2/p3 machine. You're usually more limited by bandwidth.

Which is a good point... there is a huge difference between 15 22k streams
and 15 300k streams. You would be wise to find out what bitrates the client
will stream at and charge accordingly.

Cheers,
Brent
