I tried searching for this, because I thought someone must have done it before, but alas no luck.

In looking to reduce total space required to operate a computer that does nothing but stream audio to the RR servers, I remembered the SheevaPlug that was announced a ways back.

While some people might be able to find a used desktop with a reasonable amount of power for $99, this seemed like too good of an option to passed up.

For those unaware, the SheevaPlug has a large community behind it (plugcomputer.org) and with good reason. Fitting a x86 1.2gHz machine with 512mb of ram, USB, gigabit ethernet and a flash card reader into something the size of a DC power wall wart makes it seem like a good idea for a way to stream audio from a scanner.

Because these units (can) come with Ubuntu pre-installed on them, I figure it won't be much work to install darkice and start slinging them, but I had a couple questions before I went ahead and ordered one to try it.

Are there good USB audio adapters that work with linux with little to no configuration?

Has anyone installed darkice (or any audio streamer) onto an embedded device over a network. It would be no problem installing it on a device with a GUI (or at least a monitor) but by design this unit has to be configured and controlled via SSH.

Here is the SheevaPlug (what I would want to use):

For our Web player platform. we have moved back to the previous player platform that we have always used, the "Wimpy" player. yes, that really is the name! :)

"Wimpy" finally updated their player to resolve some of the crashing issues. Established users will see that we have updated the skins... but it is the same player.

If you have problems, concerns, or feedback, please let us know in this thread. We are especially interested in hearing if the Web player crashes your browser.

Thanks, and most importantly... Have fun!!

Most of the issues are coming from people who use laptops or computers/monitors with internal speakers. Is there any way (from my end) that I can increase the volume for these folks?

As far as my equipment set-up goes, I'm using a Radio Shack Pro-106 (volume is positioned in the 12 O'clock position). RR Oddcast is the stream software in use (volume bar is positioned far right).

I tested the feed out earlier using my laptop, and confirmed there was indeed an issue. I had the volume maxed out and still could barely hear the audio.

Thanks in advance.

How about adding the ability for a feed owner to authorize trusted users to change/update the News and Feed Alerts status for their feed(s)?

Each feed owner would have the option of setting up an authorized list of those accounts who could access a limited control panel for their feed(s), where those users would then be able to change/update the News and Feed Alerts status, nothing else. The list would be unique per feed, and need not be the same authorized users for each feed a person runs. I can see this coming in very handy for local/regional feeds where you have a network of friends who monitor at various times during the day and night. If the ability to update those alerts is shared among multiple users, you're likely going to get much better and more timely usage out of that feature.

Whether or not this is even possible without a major re-write of the code, I have no idea, but I figure it's worth throwing out there. ]]> Live Audio Administration Chauffeur6 http://forums.radioreference.com/live-audio-administration/164181-idea-news-feed-alerts-status.html
