Okay, I think I made some incorrect assumptions below. mplayer is on the
jack app list (mplayer will input audio to jack), so if you play mp3's
with mplayer :
freevo tells mplayer what to do
mplayer outputs sounds to jack
jack output sound to oddcast (or alsa for playing on the hardware of the
same pc that freevo runs on)
oddcast gives sound to streamcast/icecast
streamcast/icecast gives sound to remote pc
listen!
The trick would be telling jack where to output sounds to, alsa or
oddcast. I wouldnt imagine that it would be difficult.

The 3rd one down is called "Oddcast", "an Icecast/Shoutcast streamer".
From the main web page :
JACK is a low-latency audio server, written for POSIX conformant
operating systems such as GNU/Linux and Apple's OS X. It can connect a
number of different applications to an audio device, as well as
allowing them to share audio between themselves.
I am pretty sure that JACK can take sound from alsa, do whatever
routing it want to or needs to, then give it to whatever you want.
Including alsa again, but I suppose that it could give it to Oddcast.
So freevo would be giving audio data to alsa. alsa would be giving
audio data to JACK (because it thinks its a sound card driver?), and
JACK would give it to oddcast :)
Keep us (or at least me) posted, I wouldnt mind knowing if this works.
I have a similer problem that will rear its head in about 3 weeks :)

Hi.
Although this question might be a bit off-topic here, I'm sure there
must be people here who have done what I want to do.
I have my freevo box in one room. Sometimes I'm not there, but I
still want to listen to music or whatever. Using x11vnc I can see and
use the desktop, but I can't hear it. I'd like to know whether there
is some easy way to send all the sound produced in the freevo box
through the net and hear in another machine, in the same way that
x11vnc does. at first, I thought about setting up a shoutcast server,
but I don't know how to stream the output of an alsa device to the
server. Perhaps other people here have had the same problem and have
a nice sollution for this. I don't want to need arts or esd.
Thanks

Named after its country of origin 'England', English is a little known dialect
used by up to 1.5 billion non-Americans worldwide. Some interesting but
obviously incorrect features of the language include:
- queues of people
- wonderful coloUrs
- the useful metal aluminIum
- the exotic herbs (h-urbs), basil (ba-zil) and oregano (o-re-gaa-no)
- specialiSed books called 'dictionaries' that tell you how to spell words
correctly
Many people using this bizarre gutter speak also subscribe to the pagan belief
that water freezes at 0 degrees and that distances should be measured in the
forbidden mathematical system of base-10...
