The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (27 SEP 03)
:
streaming
Playing sound or video in real time as
it is downloaded over the Internet as opposed to storing it
in a local file first. A {plug-in} to a web browser such as
Netscape Navigator decompresses and plays the data as it is
transferred to your computer over the {World-Wide Web}.
Streaming audio or video avoids the delay entailed in
downloading an entire file and then playing it with a {helper
application}. Streaming requires a fast connection and a
computer powerful enough to execute the decompression
algorithm in real time.
