Iam trying to stream audio in my TideSDK application, but it seems to be quite difficult. The HTML5 audio does not work for me, neither does video tags. The player simply keeps loading. I've tested and confirmed that my code worked in many other browsers.
My next attemp was VLC via Python bindings. But without any confirmation I do believe you need to have VLC installed for the vlc.py file to work? 
Basically, what I want to do is play audio in a sophisticated way (probably through Python) and wrap it in my TideSDK application. I want it to work out of the box - nothing for my end users to install.
Iam by the way pretty new the the whole python thing, but I learn fast so I'd love to see some examples on how to get started! 
Perhaps a quite quirky way to do it would be by using flash, but I'd love not to. 
For those of you who are not familiar with TideSDK, its a way to build desktop applications with HTML, CSS, Python, Ruby and PHP.
The current version has very old webkit so because of that the HTML5 support is lacking. Audio and video tags are currently not supported in windows because underlying webkit implementation (wincairo) does not support it. Wa are working on the first part to use the latest webkit. once completed we are also planning to work on the audio/video support on windows.
