DIY Ethernet Audio Receiver

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."

    Almost ANY Fm tuner card or Tv tuner card with an FM tuner works with linux.

    Just look out there by using this special obscure tool...

    www.google.com and then search for the following... LINUX fm tuner

    it's really brand new and nobody knows about this google thing or this new-fangled searching.

    give it a try... you might like it.

    That's an excellent point, but on the other hand, you have the legal implications of what amounts to a known form of DDOS attack. Since the typical effects of a Slashdotting are well known at this point, a 'victim' could as easily make the argument that posting just the link here was not simply distribution of information, but in fact a malicious attack on the site.

    Damned if you do, damned if you don't. :)

    How does one figure it flamebait. I honestly wanted to know if one could run multiple ones on the same network, what about using the same computer to control more than one. At the time i could find the answer, but flamebait?
