Lagrange even supports streaming audio files, Internet Radio over
Gemini is a possible thing to do :)
The main issue with streaming content over Gemini is that alot of
servers don't send TLS close¹, and so there's no easy way to know if
some has or hasn't ended. (I may have the details slightly wrong, as I
don't know much of the details)
