"Stream" doesn't mean a whole lot - at least not specifically.  The only 
interesting thing it really implies, I think, is that the data you're 
sending only comes into existence shortly before you send it.

The way to stream audio with Twisted is just like the way you would send 
any other data with Twisted.  Open a connection and start writing to it. 
For documentation about how to do this, see the client and server 
howtos:

If you run into specific problems or have any more specific questions, 
don't hesitate to ask. :)
