If I recall correctly I think I saw something about someone having Darwin
Streaming server up and running on NetBSD....If this is the case, where can
I get it, and how well does it work?  I was hoping to implement it to stream
out mp3's to the network at my place of employment for the enjoyment of our
IT dept.  I have my 68k mac here at home that I would like to see it run on
and am running port-ppc at work on a 7300/180 which I know has the
horsepower to play them (if there was sound support ;)  )
