=== The `<streaming>` section overlaps too much with /streaminfo.json ===
Almost. While `/streaminfo.json` is clearly valuable data, we wanted to account for more usecases:
- A radio should be able to list more than one URL for streaming. This can be for load balancing reasons, for
example. M3U are a simple way to achieve this.
- A radio can (and probably should) have not only more URLs for streaming, but actually stream different
versions: different qualities, different codecs, etc. It is reasonable that, as a user, you don't really
care about all those details: «Just gimme the audio!». However, your client could select the best codec for
your usecase. Or, it may let the user explicitly select "low quality, low bandwidth" for users that want to
save bandwidth. This is possible with radiomanifest adding multiple `<source>` elements, and is
