I think your suggestion is brilliant, although I suspect there will
still be that difficult delay.
Another way to do stream now, apart from line-in, that has almost no
advantages over what you suggest, except for allowing streaming of ANY
audio stream, is to use VLC.
I have a cygwin shell script that looks like this on my machine
workstation:
#!/bin/bash
/cygdrive/c/Program\ Files\ \(x86\)/VideoLAN/VLC/vlc.exe --no-video
--no-sout-video dshow:// :dshow-vdev=none :dshow-adev="Stereo Mix
(Realtek High Defini" :dshow-caching=200 --sout
"#transcode{vcodec=none,acodec=mp3,ab=128,channels=2,samplerate=44100}:http{dst=:8080/vlcstream.mp3}"
:no-sout-rtp-sap :no-sout-standard-sap :ttl=1 :sout-keep
And then on my squeeze server machine I listen in on the url:
http://workstation:8080/vlcstream.mp3
There is still a 10 second delay, but it allows me to stream anything
on that workstation machine around my place.
Regardless, I like your idea.
