The way streaming works on my gemcast is that they are ogg vorbis
files that the browser must either pipe to mpv through standard input,
or the browser must play the partially-downloaded file itself while
it's downloading. Not all browsers support one of these methods, so
the last resort is to download the whole file and then play it.
As a side note: my Common Lisp Gemini client includes a wrapper scriptthat will take the Gemini URL of an audio or video stream and feed it tompv or vlc. It requires Roswell (but installing Roswell handlesinstalling a CL implementation and dependencies).
It's at https://git.carcosa.net/jmcbray/gemini-client/, but not entirelybug-free (killing the script may not kill the player, which may continueto play for a while).
