[linux-audio-dev] (REQ:) Linux live encoding

[mawali at news.icns.com]

Hi
My and my friend are thinking of setting an open radio station. Only
choice I have is linux (that is all I use). I am trying to find something
that will do live encoding for me. All the content on the station will be
non-copyrighted and royalty free and I want the software used to be that
too.

Please tell me what my options are, for live encoding, I will probably use
ogg, since mp3 is not royalty free.

Also is there any hardware that would do this encoding for me. If not, and
the software is available. I might turn it into a dedicated blackbox for
live encoding.

Thanks
