Does anyone know of or can suggest a CMS (content
management system,
such as the many MySQL/PHP, Ruby, Python or newer GOlang alternatives
that produce dynamic HTML webpages on the fly or static websites) that
are focused on self-hosting of audio files at one's own Internet domain?
I just switched to Nikola (http://getnikola.com) for my personal site
and also plan to use it for a podcast site. It's a static site generator
written in Python. Posts and pages can be written in ReST, Markdown and
a couple of other markup format and your site can deployed anywhere
(even GH pages) without the need for PHP, Python, a database or anything.
SoundCloud.com, BandCamp.com, ReverbNation.com,
PicoSong.com and others
are 3rd-party audio file hosting solutions/websites, but some people
(such as myself) might prefer to host audio files (podcasts or music,
etc.) at their own domain.
Nikola supports shortcodes, which make it easy to embed media like audio
and video files. You can also define your own shortcodes very easily
with a short Python plugin file or a template snippet. I wrote a simple
shortcode to embed an audio file with a simple HTML 5 <audio> element,
with no JS-based player:

I also wrote another plugin, which uses the Noembed service
(http://noembed.com) to embed content from sites like Soundcloud or Github:

You can see both plugins in action here:

For the upcoming podcast site, I plan to host audio on archive.org (for
content with open licenses only), since then I don't have to worry about
bandwidth. I wrote another Nikola plugin to embed the archive.org audio
player, which I submitted to the Nikola plugin repository, but the PR is
closed, because I want to rework the plugin a bit:
