[nylug-talk] Streaming AM radio

[Ah Pook]

Arrrrrrr!  Well, that wasn't too bad.  Note to developers: if you lay 
out your .conf file nicely and have good comments in it, nobody will 
have to read your crappy half-done documentation that you didn't want 
to write anyway.

I went with Ices instead of DarkIce, just because it was in the same 
place.  No major problems, and only a couple of minor technical 
glitches, like forgetting that the desktop in the other room was still 
attached to the stream when I plugged the radio in, so five (buffered) 
seconds later I had to sprint over because the speakers were blasting 
sonic death at 140 dB.  Good times.

I didn't go quite so ghetto.  RCA->mini->soundcard.  :-)  Gotta preserve 
the sound quality, you know.  *cough*

Considered that briefly, but:
a) I don't have a TV card.
b) How much bandwidth do I need to stream 1080i?
c) I'd surely be arrested.

Really though, it's only 'a' slowing me down.  :-D

Guess who!  It's 10 o'clock, do you care where your parents are?
