I have a vhf/uhf scanner at home I want to pipe the audio from into a PC's
mic connection and listen at work.
After a lot of trial and error last night trying to get things to work, I
finally gave up and went to sleep. This morning, I performed a last-ditch
attempt for Windows streaming server, came across Windows Media Encoder
from Microsoft's site, installed it on my XP Home laptop, and in minutes,
was up and streaming.
Not a Linux solution, but I wanted to report how I got things working.

Scott,
Which end of the audio stream are you wanting to the Linux box to be?
Are you looking to use CentOS as your audio stream server or to play the
audio.
If you looking for audio output, there are multiple audio players (x11
and command line) for Linux that can connect to Ogg sources. Some
suggestions are: for x11, xmms with ogg plugin, and command line ogg123
As for stream server, it looks like Icecast has a linux port or more
likely it was linux based and then ported to Windows.
Look at this page: http://www.icecast.org/3rdparty.php
It lists applications which media players support Icecast streams and
source clients with platform information.

Subject: [BBLISA] Streaming audio from CentOS 4.4?
I've set up a streaming audio server, connecting my scanner at home to
my laptop
running XP Home w/Ogg Vorbis and Icecast. Then, at work, I use
Realplayer to
listen during the day or when I'm at someone else's computer and want to
monitor activity and don't have a radio with me. The Ogg/Icecast
setup has
worked well under Windows.
What would be the equivalent setup for Linux? For Windows, it has been
pretty
painless. Is there the same amount of simplicity for Centos/Linux?
I'll be doing some testing tonight.
Thanks for any insight.
Scott
