SYMPTOMS
When creating a server-side play list (multiple streams for one program) on a Windows Media Server, there is a 3-second delay with no sound and no video during the stream switching.



CAUSE
The Windows Media Encoder by default will include a 3-second buffer at the beginning of an .asf file.



STATUS
This behavior is by design.



MORE INFORMATION
With audio-only files, the delay between stream switches is less than one second.
