Abstract

Current WWW clients do not directly support synchronized playback
of continuos media.  It is however possible to support continous
media by using external programs that are controlled by the WWW
client.
This paper describes the design and implementation of a "Media on
Demand" server which uses WWW as its user interface.  Offered media
include audio and video recordings of transmissions on the Internet
Multicast backbone (MBONE), as well as arbitrary prerecorded audio
files.
