Hi , we use a barix <http://www.barix.com/products/instreamer-family/barix/Product/show/instreamer-100/?tx_wvbrxproducts_barixproductslist%5Bbutton%5D=&cHash=e3487444dea24a6b24aa0701dc1fa924>as our icecast client right now ( >400$ ) and I though I would try to replace it with a Raspberri Pi. Did anyone found a cheap and supported usb audio card that would have basic good input ( only with 3,5 mm jack) Thanks. <-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------> web perso : http://memeteau.org <xmpp%3Afreechelmi at jabber.fr> -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I'd just go with one of the other embedded boards that are not much more expensive and will actually get you sensible results. BeagleBoardXM BeagleBone with Audio cape Olinuxino A13 ... I hear there is a new BeagleBone coming that might actually have all on board for a price in the ballpark of the oA13 board. USB audio combined with embedded hardware (and especially the RPi with its known problematic USB) is a recipe for sub par results.
