And that’s the direction I am headed, too. ALSA just works without having to
hack at it.
So I’ll use a second box to encode the stream. I have an old laptop in the
closet that would suffice for now, but ultimately I may end up doing it with a
Raspberry Pi for simplicity and fewer watts consumed.
I’m satisfied that I was able to figure out how JACK worked, but in the end I
think I’ll be happier not using it.

FWIW, I usually run a streaming encoder and icecast server on a separate
box and send metadata from the Rivendell machine. The streaming encoder
encodes two streams: one for listeners, fed with audio from the Rivendell
box; and the other for confidence monitoring, fed from a radio. This
latter stream is recorded in one-hour segments as an aircheck mechanism.
