[LAU] Stream Box setup questions

Greetings: I am seeking assistance with a couple of issues relating to my Ubuntu server stream box. 1. I am currently running darkice to create a stream from a Delta1010 interface. Is there a way to create additional streams from additional inputs? I have everything configured with ALSA for the first stereo input pair, but I cannot figure out how to create another stream from the second stereo pair. 2. I would like to configure a box with as little config as possible to connect to a stream on boot and pass the audio to the audio port. I cannot find a command line util to do this, and I am not sure how to configure something like this to automatically connect on boot. My goal is to build a temporary (one year) backup Studio to Transmitter link for our station. We currently have a wireless lan connection to campus because we are located off campus. This existing configuration bottlenecks at about 20 listeners with our Icecast2 server on the studio end of the network. New construction has blocked our microwave path and reduced us to a POTS codec to feed our FM transmitter. We are about to move our microwave transmitter to a different building on-campus and deliver the audio over the IP connection. At the same time, I would like to move our Icecast2 relay box to the new on-campus location to get the connecting traffic off of the wireless link. If I can, I would like to send a higher bandwidth stream for the microwave in addition standard "low" and "high" .mp3 streams. Right now, if I add the higher bandwidth stream to the current darkice config, all streams start to skip. While I can drive everything off of one pair of analog inputs on the Delta1010, I would like to use two seperate stereo pair so that Emergency Alerts are not on the webstream feed. Any suggested configurations would be most helpful. Thanks all. MattRock -- Matt Rockwell- Technical Director University of Wisconsin- WSUM Student Radio http://wsum.net/
