Original issue 17 created by lordjebus on 2008-10-21T22:48:44.000Z:

Currently the entire source is required to be in memory meaning it can not handle large files or stream from a network.

The old issue had comments requesting this feature be worked on. The maintainer mentioned issue #12 and the workaround from issue #9 and issue #19. This is sort of related to issue #45. I'm closing this as we the original reporter was happy with the workaround and there are better ways to handle that, like a FIFO from issue #45.
