Hi! I was recently helping a small Dutch radio station run by volunteers to set up their new studio. It's a modular system with a 16 I/O firewire card: http://www.d-r.nl/AXUM/AXUM.htm We managed to support it in FFADO. The playback software runs on a virtualised Windows machine that's talking to jackd via netjack (no idea which one, the one with multicast and netmanager), so we can address four individual stereo pairs. This whole netjack thing isn't very stable, so the playback software should be replaced by some native Linux client. Here's a screenshot of the current Windows solution: http://adi.loris.tv/radio.png It is basically a set of four remotely controlled winamps (with ASIO output plugin to talk to jackd) and a directory browser per player. So "Jingles", "Muziek" and "Bladeren" are just shortcuts to directories with media files, the drop-down menu on the left contains a list of even more directories. The filter is used for pattern matching. Questions: Are you aware of any Linux solution that comes close to this? If not, any recommendations if one would want to create such a four-deck player? Leveraging VLC, mplayer, gstreamer? This is surely going to be open source, so whoever is interested, feel free to participate. Cheers
