Re: [ubuntu-uk] Strange question: record audio on time delay.
Try the sox package. It has utilities to play back and record, which you can then script from cron or at. Neil. P.S. Sorry for the brevity, this is typed on my phone.

Re: [ubuntu-uk] Audio in, Record and transmit over Network
Hallo I guess most of you missed that I said I do NOT send it over WAN but only LAN, so I did not expect the Shoutcast server eventhough I knew about that, but it sounds like the Shoutcast server and DarkLog would do the trick in any case so I can 1. Hook up the recorder PC (RPC) to any audio in (from the sound mixer desk) 2. The RPC then could use DarkLog to record into MP3/ogg and stream to an Shoutcast server 3. The Shoutcast server can then act as the transmitter to the rest of the LAN 4. Any client PC can be used with any player that accept and play oggMP3. The problem I have with PulsAudio is that it looks like you have to extend ALL of the audio cards of all of the clients that you would like to play over AND this is a problem IF it is a NON linux client OR if the number of clients could vary. -- _ Cornelius Mostert Senior IT Specialist United Kingdom: 075 2233 4818 International: 0044 75 2233 4818 -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/

Re: [ubuntu-uk] Audio in, Record and transmit over Network
Im guessing Cornelius needs to stream to a server like a shoutcast server for example rather than running one and having multiple clients, but correct me if im wrong. Wont VLC also stream to a shoutcast server? I know theres a package called Internet DJ console but it doesnt support mp3 streaming out of the box. However Id say what you need is simply something that takes your input and encodes it on the fly and streams it to a server. Shoutcast apparently have their own tool to stream to a shoutcast server. I havent used it though yet. I only used the windows version a year or so ago. I also used Eddcast on windows which was good as it recorded the outgoing stream too. However I dont believe eddcast is available for Linux? http://www.shoutcast.com/download#14 Mark On 1 March 2010 15:21, Simon Greenwood sfgreenw...@gmail.com wrote: On 1 March 2010 14:07, Cornelius Mostert corneliusmost...@googlemail.comwrote: Hallo all I know I have asked this before but only now have all my ducks in a row to do this project so please could you tell me what apps I could use to do the following: I have an audio stream coming in via usb or input jack (line in) and would like to: 1.

I guess this does not matter but I will be using a WiFi connection for lan trafic and the stream will not go out to the Internet. thanx I'd suggest looking at DarkLog. It's actually radio logging software (to cover Ofcom requirements of logging all output for 42 days) so it records the audio stream coming in and streams it to a Shoutcast server and also records to disc (I believe in MP3 or OGG format, not sure about WAV/FLAC). It's also supposed to have an easyish to use web interface (which is handy for radio stations as Ofcom may ask for a specific minute of audio anytime within the 42 days so 1 minute or more out of 60,480 minutes). Other than that you could possibly get away with Darkice (which Darklog is based on) and capture the stream using MPlayer (I've done this in the past to capture radio shows). Hope this helps anyway.
