Streaming audio is a method of sending an audio signal to the receiver’s computer through Internet. It is different from standard methods of receiving audio files through Internet, where you have to download a .wav or .au file before hearing the audio files. However, with streaming audio, you can hear the audio immediately as it arrives on your PC. Thus, you need not wait for long minutes for the entire download.
When the data arrives on your computer, it buffers for few moments and playback begins. As the audio starts playing, more data streams (arrives) on your PC. Therefore, you will hear the constant audio as long as you receive the regular stream of data.
Sometimes, while receiving the data, stream may break down due to net congestion and you receive a message as net congestion and rebuffering.
