Before my roommate and I got laptops, I originally wanted to set up a neat web interface (probably running on my desktop) with an SQL backend and search functions, etc., which would control an icecast daemon or something similar. I just never got around to working on the project, and I was never sure if I could have a client program that handled MP3 *and* Ogg Vorbis that would run adequately on the Pentium 100 I had available. Once I got my laptop, I figured I had a relatively decent interface (XMMS) and just needed to get audio from point A to B. I'd still like to create a nice web interface, so then my roommates and I could do neat things like vote on what music to play next, but I haven't had/made enough time to do it. Uncompressed audio runs on the order of 150kByte/s, so it usually works fine on the network we have here (except when the wireless access point decides to drop down to a transmission rate of 16kByte/s for still unknown reasons). -- _ _ _ _ _ ___ _ _ _ ___ _ _ __ Join the Army.
