I believe you can run a windows media server with wmv files, but I agree...
the winamp formatted streams are really good and it'd rock to see them
implemented into AW. I have no idea if anyone's come up with some sort of
codec so you can watch nsv in Windows Media Player, but I wouldn't doubt it.
:-p If that's the case, then you can run it. But the issue would be that
anyone you intend to be watching it would have to have the codec installed.
