At one station I have a Rivendell box set up to provide substitute programming for the station's Internet stream when they're broadcasting Celtics or Yankees games, which they're not allowed to stream. The substitute programming is described by a Rivendell log with a predictable name, and I have a Perl script running that looks for a particular parallel port pin to go high. When it sees the port go high, that signals the beginning of the game broadcast, so it uses an rmlsend command to tell rdairplay to load and start the log.
