Winamp Kernel Streaming Plugin

This version of the Winamp Kernel Streaming Plugin has been under development since late 2005. The project began as an attempt to improve the stability of the existing Kernel Streaming plugin developed by Chun Yu Shien. After several revisions of this code, many people were asking for the addition of various features, particularly buffering. For these features, the existing codebase was no longer considered suitable, so I pretty much rewrote the plugin from scratch.

The various revisions of the plugin are presented below and new ones will be added as they become available. Version numbers 2.x are reworked versions of Chun Yu's code, while versions 3.0 onwards are my rewrite. Each download contains the plugin along with a readme file describing the plugins history, usage, bug fixes and known limitations. Earler plugins are accompanied by a plain text file, later ones are HTML based and should be read with your browser.

Although the plugin is tested and has proven stable in general use, you use it entirely at your own risk and I accept no responsibility for any damage or loss caused by the use of this plugin.

Finally, a big thank you to all the people on the Hydrogen Audio forums who have provided feedback and suggestions for ways to improve the plugin.
