Hallo Julien, Julien Claassen hat gesagt: // Julien Claassen wrote: Of course I do, I was co-responsible for setting them up, smile. We have two streams for each program: low and high. Low should be okay for ISDN connections, it's variable bitrate at around 56 kBit/s with a samplerate of 32 kHz. "high" is quality-encoded currently, so the bitrate can vary much more. Generally it's around 100 kBit/s, but it can go higher as well, up to around 120 kBit, so you definitely need DSL to be able to listen to it, and you should use large enough buffer sizes to avoid dropouts. mpg123 doesn't work, but ogg123 should work. At least I can listen to it from home with ogg123. Normally I use alsaplayer, though. It also has a text-mode interface, which you can use with like this: alsaplayer -i text http://dradio-live.ogg.t-bn.de/dlf_high.ogg The text interface for alsaplayer is very nice actually, because you can remote control it for various things like pause or play, volume etc. which probably is useful for sight-impaired users. I've heard that "wget http://dradio-live.ogg.t-bn.de/dlf_high.ogg" can save the stream to a file, but of course I've never used that with a cronjob to record late night programs. No, I never did that. Ciao -- Frank Barknecht _ ______footils.org_ __goto10.org__
