This looks very interesting. This could be a cool new feature, if you use it for STL, and the internet connection is lost: What about adding a silence detector function, where the receiver plays MP3 files, until the connection to the studio is reestablished? Kind regards, Morten 2012/10/22

Thanks to you and all your colleagues for your work on Rivendell. Although it causes me a LOT of teeth gnashing (due solely to my lack of experience in Linux and especially CentOS), I still try to grok it ... So, in that vein, can you please tell me if there are any help or man pages for
