Application (in case anyone cares): Move better-than-FM quality audio
across a leased audio circuit with delay under 10 seconds. No
Internet exposure. Obviously one box is required at each end, and the
encoding box works much harder than the decoding box. Software to run
will probably be Ices -> Icecast -> network -> mplayer. Will be using
USB audio interfaces, probably something like the M-Audio Fast Track
Pro. Because of the nature of the application, once it is booted up
the only disk activity is occasional logging when there is a problem
with the connection.
Any advice, web links, battle scars, or advice gladly accepted.
Not quite a match, but maybe worth investigating the hackability: the
$99 Roku box sold initially to stream Netflix but supposed to be getting
other capabilities. Or for just audio, their soundbridge products that
are more expensive but some include speakers. Development specs are
available for the soundbridge along with source for gpl'd code included
with the netflix box. Not sure about development on the netflix box,
though. Might be worth $99 just to take it apart and see what's in there.
This would be more interesting for the playback end (no audio input
capability is visible) if this were a one-time project, but we will
probably have to supply more pairs in the future, so a more stable platform
is more interesting. Price is certainly right, but unlikely to hold, as
they are charging $200 for their SoundBridge.
