Each frame of a streaming sound event has certain overhead needed to

control the streaming of the sound.

This usually creates a larger file size even for a single instance.

The costs can be rather large (sometimes double).


The choice is sometimes based  on streaming immediately and a larger

overall file size or a delay before starting the sound and a smaller

file size.
