Hi, and Welcome to LQ.

streaming plugins?

What program are you using to listen?

gnome uses gstreamer plugins, see here for some pertinant info...article about pulseaudio in 2008.1

quote...consider the KDE sound library aRts. It includes a sound server -- the low-level daemon that accepts audio from apps and feeds it to the hardware driver -- and higher-level functions like encoding and decoding various file and stream formats. Things are a little cleaner on the GNOME side. The Enlightened Sound Daemon (ESD) is the sound server, and a separate library (GStreamer) handles the codecs.
