node-stream-throttle Initial burst

In some applications (such as media streaming), it's desirable to send the beginning of a stream at a maximum rate to quickly fill client buffers. Similar to http://stackoverflow.com/a/32874710.

Any solution for this ? I like to throttle an mp3 stream with init burst

@daslicht I implemented this using throuhg2. Code: throttle.js. Usage: see server.js.

The above code links are now throttle.js and server.js

After converting that to CoffeeScript I looked at it and realized it probably can't work for me. I'm throttling an audio stream before encoding it so that it's realtime, before sending the encoded data to multiple clients. I can't just add an extra throttle per client because it can't undo the original throttling.

I managed to solve this with a simple initial burst from an array of chunks. I might make it into a module.
