[LAU] Linux radio / streaming tips?

[Dan MacDonald]

Thanks for the suggestions so far!

Has anyone on the list tried more than one of Airtime, IDJC and Rivendell
(plus any of the other solutions) enough to make a good comparison?

I can't see any mention of JACK support on the Airtime site and we may need
this to get Skype working but the other two do claim JACK support. I get
the impression Airtime has the most features otherwise but I expect they'll
gladly trade stability and ease of use/ maintenance over a flashy set of
features.
