Have you ever tried to write something for recording sound from the sound card and encoding it in MP3 format? Not interesting? Well, to make stuff more interesting, have you ever tried to write an MP3 streaming, internet radio sever? I know, you ll say "What for?

But, anyway, have you ever tried, at least, to dig a bit inside this entire kitchen or write anything similar for your soul? Well, that s what this article is about. Of course, we won t manage to cover all topics in one article at the end, this may be tiresome.
