What I would like to do with a home network (of only
two machines) is
to relay mp3 audio stream from one box to another (in another room, of
course). How would this be done, or what kind of network model best
accomplishes this? Is it possible to have only the box with the cable
modem (linux box runs dhclient, of course) connected to the Internet,
and "pipe" the data stream to the other box?
Is this what the existing mp3 streaming server apps do, (gnump3d or
icecast) or do they only stream static mp3 files?
Please point me to the relevant docs & apps-- I'm bewildered by it all.
I have used the software at slimdevices.com to set up an audio server
which can stream to one or more devices. I happen to have a Squeezebox
in my living room, and use the Softsqueeze software client to play the
same feed down in the studio. Nice for a party!
The client and server software are all open source - awfully nice of them!
