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."

    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. :)
