How to stream a WAV file?

Question

I\'m writing an app where I record audio and upload the audio file over the web. In order to speed up the upload I want to start uploading before I\'ve finished recording.

Answer 1

Where are you uploading to? Your own site? Sounds like you need some server-side code to take your raw sample uploads and assemble them into a valid WAV file (correct file-length field, one data chunk) on the server.

But if you're really trying to speed up the upload, I'd think you actually want to upload MP3-encoded frames and have the server assemble those into an MP3 file. Which is more complicated, I'm afraid.
