GISS Ogg/Theora Streamer v 1.0.0

This is the Ogg/Theora streamer based on the java vorbis library for android : Vorbis library for android and using a native theora library.

It will only work with version of android >= 2.1 and will not work on devices with simplified processors, it was tested with success on an HTC Desire, it would not work on an HTC Tattoo, because it doesn't support floating point operations.

You should enter your stream parameters in the following screens and type 'Start' to start your stream.
