After my original post, I figured out how to use on_blank(), but I’m still
interested to know whether I should have been able to do this with the
on_connect() & on_start() callback functions in input.pulseaudio and
output.icecast.
Also, I’d appreciate any corrections to my usage of on_blank():
def on_receiving()
do stuff
end
source_original = input.pulseaudio(device="4", fallible=true)
source_icecast = on_blank(
on_noise=on_receiving,
{()},
source_original,
start_blank=true,
max_blank=1.,
threshold=-84.
)
output.icecast(%ogg(%flac(compression=5)), fallible=true, host="localhost",
port=8000, password="sourcepwd", mount="mystream", format="audio/ogg",
source_icecast)
Thanks again! —Bob
