Which is not the case since OGG/MP3 can requested individualy.

But this mean, you have realy heavy Disk-IO. and imagine, you have only
4 peoples/clients which hear different OGG/MP3 the Read-head will stand
never still and will never read sequetaly.

This kill all harddrives... And Yes, I can could use SCSI-Drives but
a Raid-5 of at least 3 drives plus Hotfix and a controller would cost
arround 5000 Euro. Nearly 16 times the price of the computer itself.

But if I read the logs, they are around 150-180 files which are heared
all the time and they have in summary arround 800 MByte. So creating a
Ram-Cache of 1 GByte would do wonder...
