Stream to phone

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I am so happy using Clementine and being able to control it from my Android 
phone!  The new ability to download tracks and playlists to my phone is 
incredible!

The only thing that could make it better would be to be able to stream the 
current song in Clementine to my phone, playing it through my phone.  This way 
I could, for example, play music through my wifi network to a stereo system in 
a different room, far from my computer where Clementine is.  Since I can't fit 
that much music on my phone, this would be really handy.

There's a request on the Clementine issue tracker to stream to Icecast servers, 
but since this app can already download songs from Clementine, all it really 
needs to do is download the current track and play it on the phone, then delete 
it.  Maybe it could even cache it in RAM instead of writing it to /sdcard.

Thanks for this app and making Clementine even better!

I was thinking to write an issue on this.
I totally agree, a streaming feature would be great.
Although not sure about the download->listen->delete solution. It is easy to 
implement but what if the download happens to slow(Streaming could reduce a bit 
the quality but still stream, on local network it should still work great)? Or 
there is a flac file and it consumes to much memory?
Well, the download->listen->delete would be satisfying too actually.

Good news everyone ;-) Streaming is a feature that is on my TODO list! Will 
take a while though as I have to figure out how to stream the Clementine output 
properly.

The suggestion with downloading is not a good approach, because of different 
codecs that Android might be unable to play. And for lossless codecs the huge 
file size lilianftp mentioned.

That's a feature I'd really like to see happen!!
But when adding this option, please do not forget to include audio output from 
streaming services (eg. Grooveshark, Spotify etc)
