Seems we're working on similar projects right now.
I don't see why anyone would want to use x11vnc when there is vnc4server (which is in the Debuntu repos). Other distros such as Fedora are using TigerVNC now as the default for VNC I see although I've not tried TigerVNC yet so I can't say how that compares to x11vnc and vnc4. I've not even bothered trying TightVNC as I've heard a few people say vnc4server is more stable than TightVNC. I get a greatly superior desktop update framerate under vnc4server over x11vnc.There is also NX free and x2go but neither are in the Deb repos and desktop sharing doesn't work out of the box on either or at least it didn't work for me and we needed that.
We tried Rivendell but deemed it unsuitable for our needs. Rivendell must be one of the last active projects still using QT3. Its interface is indeed archaic looking and its functionality is spread over several different apps. It isn't intuitive to me and I'm used to decoding alpha Linux apps so forget about teaching it the non-techie hosts. It looks like we've settled on a combo of IDJC, Skype, vnc4, jack_mixer (or similar) and Liquidsoap or mpd for handling the non-live playlists.

minute.
I will try and get it down using some of the hints given in this thread.
I am launching the programs via .desktop files in .config/autostart including
the:
sh -c "sleep ..." trick
I start x11vnc right away
I start qjackctl after 15 seconds
this launches darkice after startup via a script
it also has the patchbay activated to make the wanted connections
I start rdairplay after 45 seconds
all the best,
drew
