Hello, I may have the need to do some live audio streaming soon, so I am doing some preemtive research on the topic. The last time I did any of this was on Windows with Windows Encoder no less. I have since grown to hate Windows and would much rather do this in Linux. Since Fedora is my distro of choice I ask you guys: What is the status of audio streaming (and I suppose recording) on Linux? What are hardware requirements like? I would doubt that they would be high, but I rather not assume too much. The application would be for live audio of the classical music type, I have no preference yet of codec, but I am guessing that the avg. simultaneous connections once it is fully up and running would be at least 50, but I am just guessing at this point. Please let me know what your thoughts, and esp your experiences are.
I've never done it, but there's Icecast for Mp3 and Vorbis. (In Extras, <http://www.icecast.org>) -- imalone
