Both devices will only sound a 'fallback'-alarm if the server (or network) is down at alarm time. A 'proper' alarm (i.e. the stream I want to hear slowly fading in) will only sound when the server is on at alarm time. Even with more logic and processing on the radio - it wouldn't help. You couldn't stream all your radio-stations anyway (as the server transcodes some of them so that they can be played). And a whole architecture change just for the simple sounds that could indeed be stored on the radio ? Doesn't sound economic to me. -- bluegaspode 1x SB-Controller+Receiver (Duet), 1xSB-Boom. 1xSB-Radio Server (7.4.1) running on SheevaPlug (Ubuntu) with attached Western Digital MyBook Essential.
