Streaming media

Primary goal is to support a Rockford/Fosgate DMS1 and a couple Audreys.

The DMS1 is a uPnp thing. The Audrey is an outdated Internet appliance. (Outdated = I can't load new software on it.)

Secondary goal is to support MP3 players: a Rio Forge and a Creative Zen

Sources

• Internet radio
• Podcasts
• Music collection

Audio

I don't want to be my own radio station, what I want is on-demand.

Source clients

Source clients read music from someplace and send it to the streamer. "Someplace" can be an Internet radio station, a live audio feed, or music files.

ices2 from Ubuntu repository. Supports only OGG format (so it's useless).

icegenerator - (built from source) streams to icecast, can handle mp3

muse

Streamer

The streamer waits for connections from a client and when it gets one, sends audio from the source to the client.

icecast2 from Ubuntu repository

slimp3 from Ubuntu repository

later for this

Darwin is the most interesting candidate at the moment.
