Hi,<br><br>I am an undergrad student working on a project related to playing audio on a Linksys WRT54GL Router through cat5 cable. I have the following setup.<br><br>A Linksys WRT54GL router with OpenWRT firmware on it. What i want to do is to play some audio file (prefrably mp3 format), and stream the output over Ethernet through CAT5 cables and convert it through a balun. I have broken the process in following&nbsp; steps
<br><br>1. Get the audio file and&nbsp; decode it (through libmad or a similar library) <br>2. Convert this to analog form<br>3. Send it over Ethernet<br><br>I understand the first part, and have already started the implementation, but the other two steps are where i have problems. 
<br><br>To play it directly on a speaker i would need to convert it to Analog, but how do make those analog signals travel over ethernet?<br><br>As you can i dont have much knowledge about audio programming, so&nbsp; i would appreciate any help i could get on this mailing list.
<br><br><br>Thanks.
