Streaming audio is usally a sound file, typically a mp3 file, that is linked to a button which allows you to listen to the audio inside your browser.
Sometimes the producer will also provide a link to the audio file so you can download and listen to it offline or add to your mp3 player like an iPod.
You can produce your own streaming audio files using software readily available on the internet such as MP3 Sound Stream. http://mp3soundstream.com
You can also add streaming audio using blogging plugins and other similar systems.
There are basically two types of streaming audio.
1. Archived streaming audio.
This can be added to any website and is usually a file that is played from the beginning for each visitor and is stored on the websites server. You can listen to the audio anytime as it is always the same.
2. Live Streaming Audio
This is used mainly by radio stations and is streamed through a special server and is live so that you have to be there at the time the audio is delivered.
You may here the term Podcast which is usually a recorded program that is then archived and then delivered via the first method and also usually provides a download.
Hope this helps

The general term for such things is "streaming", meaning that it is played before it is entirely finished downloading. For example, YouTube videos are also streamed to users. In both cases, the files are actually downloaded to your computer in a temporary folder, you just don't need to wait for them to finish downloading before you can watch/listen to them.

Watch angels and demons online?
Since streaming relies on external servers having the movie available for streaming, which is unlikely since the bandwidth costs would be too high for such a long movie to watch for free, I recommend downloading it via torrents. This will ensure the highest possible quality for audio and video, and is also much more reliable than streaming.

There is no copyright on streaming audio over the internet. Or rather...

If you plan on streaming music, then you might be doing something illegal by streaming it over the internet. Most music has got copyrights attached, and so you need the consent of the copyrightholders to do so.
