Recently, I have noticed that the audio channel has been set to some sort of schedule, presumably due to the bitrate decrease on the US beam. What if, instead of a continuous stream of audio, audio content was downlinked in bulk and was played back on the Dreamcatcher to have a near-continuous Othernet radio stream, and was able to be used in the same way as the current Othernet radio stream, both over the network and through a direct speaker connection? For example, a package of audio for the hour would be downlinked then played back for the next hour or so, and while the previous audio was still playing, another audio package was downloaded? Are there technical reasons this isn’t practical, such as file sizes?
Thanks,
Ben
