I just POST mine to my websocket server. Whats the benefit of this over using
http or a unix socket or whatever to send the data?
The problem which frustrated me is that if you have any buffering of your
streams then your listeners get the metadata for the next song way before the
current song has finished playing.
I had a look at the ICY protocol and it turns out if you add the request header
`icy-metadata: 1` the server will write the metadata directly into the audio
stream, so no more sync issues if you have buffers or laggy listeners, the
metadata arrives with the audio.
That seemed like the best solution to me so I wrote a service worker script
which adds the header and then extracts the metadata from the stream.
My service worker script and a link to a working demo are on
