Hi Michael,
First of all, after a look at nSlam, overwhelmed by its features and refreshing my mind on a cup of coffee, I've found a solution using MPD.. there actually was a way to assign its only volume control to my desired output. Anyway, I've taken a brief look at the documents and what I think is the example you mentioned (StreamCaster?). The concepts in the suite is certainly inspiring in terms of making practical applications based on Pd. For my current project, I am trying to go low cost on hardware as much as possible, so I think I will stick with MPD for now. I hear people run it on 75MHz Pentiums. I am considering utilizing a NAS running Linux at 200MHz or so and only has a CLI. Thanks anyway. I will take a closer look at it today. -- David Shimamoto > I've had success with nSlam: > http://tot.sat.qc.ca/down_nslam.html > > There is, in fact, in the package, a prepackaged example of streaming > application.
