Another entry from the massive overkill department... Many of you know that I have been involved with Asterisk for several years including Voice over IP. Was involved in a discussion this morning regarding an upcoming event for which a sound system is desired. The usual things are needed: mixing board, microphones, a snake to route all the stage sources to the board, monitor speakers, house speakers. The conversation came to running cables - shielded, grounded, ground loops, feedback, pops, clicks, hummmmmmmmm. bt&dt.
After our wonderful 64Studio presentation in June and the Icecast presentation in August, a wild hair got poking on me thinking "sound system over IP???" The mixer part is done so long as you could digitize all the sources to the 64Studio system. How to transition analog sources to IP to be fed to the "board?" Then we want to Icecast the output to remote appliances that feed power amps at the various speakers. My first thought was to "connect" (by some magic duct tape) all of the sources into an Asterisk meetme conference and then connect that to an output but that sucks due to minimal mixing control. <voice = thinking out loud> Icecast is part of the magic duct tape. Even if "we" had to run multiple Icecast servers to isolate source from output... What is the cleanest way to get microphones and other analog sources into IP to be fed to the IP mixer??? Can we have a side session at LinuxFest, September 19 to address this opportunity? We could commercialize this!! Or at the very least we could extend the 64Studio/UbuntuStudio concept to SSoIP!
