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."

  2. Sorry about the slashdotting. by zerocool^ · · Score: 4, Informative

    Sorry about the being slashdotted. We're working on getting that fixed.

    I'm a server administrator at the webhosting company that hosts that page. Today (at 1AM) two of our five T-1's went down (Qwest appearantly had a cable cut - bah, force majure). Of all days for our network capacity to be decreased by 40%...

    At any rate, we just turned up MaxClients, MinSpareServers, and MaxSpareServers in the apache config. We're going to start really hounding Qwest. We'll get it back up as soon as possible. It is accessable right now, but slow.

    Again, apologies.

    About the same thing.

    Remote controlled, streams over Ethernet, GPL'd software (Linux, Win, Mac)

    250$ - a bit expensive, but I bet the price will come down...
