You'll probably have to install the liquidsoap plugins to enable mp3
support (if you're unlucky you'll have to compile it with mp3 support).
Do an apt-cache search for liquidsoap or liquidsoap-plugin and you
should see a whole bunch of them including jack and pulse.

Fallback is working, main stream does not play:
2015/01/27 20:03:14 [decoder:3] Unable to decode stream of type
"mp3"!
Written originally for the Pi but should work on most Debian based
systems. Adding some on silence actions might do the trick for
you.

I think I have seen discussions around these topics in the past. I
am hoping someone is up to date on these skills so that I dont
have to spend further hours or days trying to get this to work
smoothly.
What I want to do:
config a small box (I hope to use a Raspberry Pi but will scale up
until I find one with the needed power to serve in this capacity)
such that when it is plugged into a network and amp/speakers
somewhere it will connect to an icecast stream automatically and
play it out of the speakers.
It will detect silence in the stream (including the stream going
down) and switch to playing (a playlist of) locally stored files.
It will detect when the stream audio comes back and cut out the
local audio and go back to stream audio.
All headless and automatic.
I am trying to get this system going now on a laptop with a bit
more power than the Pi.
I am trying to use:
jack
silentjack (to detect the silence)
jack_connect (to change the jack routing on setup and on command
from silentjack)
audio players:
mplayer (or its frontends)
vlc
others?
Does this sound like a reasonable set of components for this job?
Has anyone done something similar? Are there any good docs in this
space?
Problems I think I need to solve:
A way to "statically name" the main stream player so that I can
refer to it in scripts.
I may not have to statically name the backup player but it would
probably be nice.
So far, I am not seeing how to do that with mplayer or vlc, the
names seem to be tied to the pid.
Is there a better way to go about this?
If it hasnt already been done, I will write this all up when I am
done.
all the best,
drew
