Streaming Server

As a simple streaming server we use http://icecast.org giving us the possibility to use fallback streams to stream the vinyl archive and provide a connection jingle.

Streaming Client

To stream the audio from the soundcard driver to the icecast streaming server we use http://code.google.com/p/darkice.

Playout / Playlist

For the playout of playlists eg. in live mode or unmaintained we use campaster http://www.campware.org/.

Here you can find a quick installation guide: http://radioe.li/campcaster-installation.

Operating System

The operating system the vinyl archive is running on is Xubuntu 9.04 "Jaunty".

Audio

The soundcard driver we use is ALSA http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Main_Page.

And as soundserver we use the Jack - Audio Connection Kit http://jackaudio.org/.

This setup allows us to stream the sound from the playout software and from the scheduling daemon directly to the icecast server and to the output of the soundcard.
