Hello,
A friend of mine just sent me this email. I'm drawing a blank, so I
thought I would throw it to the list and see what happens:
--[begin email
He is hosting a shoutcast server with music he's streaming. He
wants to duck his streaming media every 30 seconds and play a
prerecorded file from a directory (think hold music with commercials
playing every 30 seconds).
You have any ideas in mind? Do you know of any software that will do this?
--[end email
Thanks all,

In theory you could do it using jackd, with icecast streaming from jack
and have a script that connected and disconnected the appropriate player
programs. But I'm not sure how stable this would be on a system like this.

http://www.rivendellaudio.org/ may be overkill.
idjc ( http://www.onlymeok.nildram.co.uk/ ) may come close, I don't know
if it can do automated ducking though. - It broadcasts using JACK
audio-ports and there's many ways to automate jack-mixers and players.
(eg jackminimix & OSC).
HTH,

I believe that "ducking" in traditional analog audio was done using a
compressor with a side-chain input from an override channel. When the
announcer talking is heard in the side-chain, the compressor turns
down the volume on the normal program.
That may not be quite what he wants. Perhaps he would rather pause
and then resume the normal program. I might not call that "ducking",
but the terminology is not important.
It would be a good idea to get a clear specification of his requirements.
