#lossy stream
This simple readable/writable stream drops writes when in a paused state.
npm install lossystream
usage
var lossy = require('lossystream');
var dropped = function(d) {
// d contains the data that was dropped
};
someStream.pipe(lossy().on('drop', dropped)).pipe(slowStream);
why?
I'm using this to push images (640x480) to the browser over binary websockets. The browser freezes if I try to send this much data 30 times a second.
