DIY Ethernet Audio Receiver

Posted by michael on from the fly-by-wire dept.

geo writes "I created this site to describe my latest toy: a digital audio multicast receiver. LANPipe receives 16-bit, 44.1 kHz audio multicast from a PC based server. The server uses a Winamp plug-in, so LANPipe can play almost any source format (mp3, ogg, uncompressed). It even has a digital audio output. The receiver uses a custom CPU written in VHDL and implemented on a Xilinx FPGA. This was a fun project that is best appreciated by fellow hardware geeks."

    Not appreciated nearly as much as Web servers than can handle a Slashdotting.

    Please go buy a suit, print out your resumes, and start smiling at people. You need jobs folks, and they don't grow on trees.



    I'm an apple picker, my job does grow on trees you insensitive bastard.

    Tell Qwest to get rid of their spammers! That'll increase capacity dramatically!

    Now if it had been running wireless network protocols over an ultrasonic link, that would have been a geek's delight.

    The Navy have had such technology for ages! Tho they only seem to support 'Ping' so far.
