[Icecast] OpenSource Nicecast project - anyone interested?
Hi all, I'm a newcomer to this list, but I thought people may be interested in my current project, an open-source equivalent of Nicecast. It's intended to let you stream live audio over your home network, and is currently working nicely between my Powerbook and Linux PC. It works by using the Soundflower dummy audio driver to grab all audio from the Powerbook, then my program uses CoreAudio to record and convert this to PCM, before sending it to ices2, which encodes the stream to Vorbis and sends this to my local icecast server. I want to streamline this whole process further, hopefully removing Soundflower and ices2 from the equation. It's really hacky code at the moment, as it started life as a simple utility for my own purposes, but it seems that other people may want to do the same thing. This is really just a quick poll to see if enough people are interested to make it worth setting up a website and CVS access for the project, so please let me know if you are. Cheers, Graham
