How can I...?

Example 12 : Simple TCP based streamer that repeatedly streams (3 times) the same audio file. The reason it's the same file is because it's configured with a playlist that is created: [ shortfile, shortfile, shortfile ]. If this was [ song_one, song_two, song_three ], then this would be a simple streamer that had a playlist of 3 songs played repeatedly. Something that does this is often referred to as a carousel. Components used: SimpleServer, JoinChooserToCarousel, FixedRateControlledReusableFileReader, ForwardIteratingChooser, pipeline
