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.
Or this: perhaps a little too cutesy, but... http://www.chumby.com/
Cute little thing. Would probably work, but I have my doubts whether it
would come back to life after a power failure, persistently retry an
interrupted connection, etc, and with an ARM inside, I have no idea how
hackable it would be. An interesting hardware platform, if it is programmable.
