From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (27 SEP 03) [foldoc]:
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}. (1996-11-06)
