Help with streaming of .ogg

Hi,

I can not seem to get the streaming of .ogg files to work on my Ubuntu 9.04, apache2 and lame installed.

The .ogg file loads all the way, but it won't start playing.

I have a symlink to lame in the "transcode" foler, and subsonic reports that lame is installed.

Anyone who can give me some new ideas what to try?

*EDIT

And yes, I have done all the things recomended in the troubleshooting

Symlinks don't work. Copy lame and ogg/flac to the transcode folder. Worked for me.

Hmm.. A symlink to /usr/bin/lame does not work?

What files did you copy? You want me to copy the .ogg files I want to listen to to the transcode folder? That does not make much sense for me, but perhaps I'm just having a bad day..

cp /usr/bin/flac /path/to/transcode/flac and the same for oggdec (must be installed) and lame.

Not the .ogg/.flac files to be played, but the programs doing the transcoding.
