I've been running a local NPR affiliates streaming server (darkice + lame + shoutcast) on RELENG_5 for quite some time on an older dell PE server (with an AudioPCI ES1370) . They've purchased a new dell PE; but it only has pci-e slots in it (and none currently available). So...I'm thinking USB audio. Would this be stable under RELENG_6 ? I'm considering having them purchase an external (USB) Creative External Sound Blaster Live! SB0490. Thoughts ? --------------------------------------- Robin P.
