Greetings,
Does anyone know of a tool that can act as a VoIP client and stream
to a
streaming server such as shoutcast/icecast, etc.
I've got a client interested in doing basketball play by plays during
tourney season. They have * in place now and the bandwidth to burn
for
streaming out. In the old world, I did an analog phone patch ->
mixer ->
encoder -> streaming server. What I'm thinking of is more along
the lines
of a client that registers as a SIP/IAX client, answers the phone and
patches it to a streaming server.
Thoughts/suggestions?
You could consider skipping the streaming server and just having
the users hit asterisk directly - It depends on the numbers of users
you want to serve, but you could drop them all into a muted
app_conference.
That way you get mush less latency than you do with a streaming
solution,
which might matter with something as quick as a basketball game.
