[Live-devel] livecaster in STL

[Jason L. Ellison]

Hello,

  I'm interested in using livecaster in a 24/7 studio to transmitter link
for a community radio station.  Is this software project up for such a
task?  Has anyone used this software in this manner before?

  Initial test were done like so:

read sound from oss supported soundcard mic input

/usr/local/bin/sox -t ossdsp -r 44100 -c 2 /dev/dsp2 -t wav - | \
/usr/local/bin/lame -m s -s 44.1 --cbr -q 2 -b 192 - - | \
/usr/local/livecaster/lc -s stdin -d /usr/local/livecaster/256bps-nosdp


data goes over two cisco's back to back to simulate a T1.  machine plays
audio using mplayer with live555 patch.

/usr/local/bin/mplayer -really-quiet -mc 10 \
  -vo null -ao oss:/dev/dsp0 sdp:///root/256bps-nosdp.sdp


  I'm using the M-Audio Audiophile 192 for balanced input/output.
Currently the sox and lame process die mysteriously.  Are there better,
more reliable, ways to feed livecaster via stdin?
