gollark: I don't really know how to usefully apply that to this.
gollark: I have an osmarks internet radio™ HTTP stream which needs to be forwarded onto an OggStream thing for discord.py voice chat. I have *that* working, but it sounds somewhat bad as it doesn't have any buffer and "jumps" or something quite often.
gollark: Mildly accursed issue of the day: how do I buffer a python stream thing?
gollark: Interesting idea.
gollark: Partnership how? Epicbot links?
