AW: [squid-users] Re: Re: Re: Re: Cache for mp3 and ogg in memory...

And think about fake-streams which look like mp3 but have no end (some Radio
stations use this for streaming)
It should not do much problems since there surely is a limit in the config
(well, it will fill up the cache even :))

Yes, it is always the same url...

For example: The original file is sampled in 192kBit and then a user
use:

    <http://musicserver/?rate=64&name=how_to_get_gnump3d_caching.mp3>

which would resample the file to 64 kBit, but requesting the same file
10 times, result in 10 different files...

The resamlpling is NEVER the same... (checked with md5sum)

I the only thing I can imagine is, that I write a gnump3d patch, which
copies the resampled file into a cache directory, which can be in a
ramdisk, and then the next time someone is requesting the same URL,
gnump3d is looking first into the cache and if it is there, it use it
and otherwise it resample the file.

Exactly...
