Streaming
=========

   Support for streaming sounds rises from the API specification
surrounding `alBufferAppendData'.  Streaming sources are understood to
be sources whose `AL_BUFFER' parameter is a streaming buffer.  A
streaming buffer is a buffer created by a call to
`alGenStreamingBuffer', and can only be fed data using
`alBufferAppendData'.

   Streaming sources have restrictions associated with them, and for the
time being require special creation procedures.  Further specifications
may remove some of these restrictions, but until further notice
streaming sources will always be synchronized, and some of the filters
may not apply to them.
