Right now, this is a test setup for a project what will hopefully go live in 
the fall.

I haven't run rivendell on a daily basis for years so this is largely a 
re-learning project at this point.

I am just trying to get things working at this point. After that, I will try 
and clean things up as you suggest.

I may also switch to liquidsoap from darkice. we shall see.

all the best,
