Hi, I hope that you can use liquidsoap, it would be great. Most of what you need is on our roadmap for 1.0.

Concerning Windows, it's more problematic. Some time ago, Romain used to prepare Windows binaries and installer. But it was a lot of work (we never use Windows) and there was little feedback. So he stopped. If somebody wants to try again, I'm sure Romain would help by describing his experience. All I can say is that you need a working OCaml environment and cygwin, and hope that Cygwin emulates the Unix select() call well enough, because we rely a lot on it -- more than when we last had a windows binary. > * Multichannel audio (like 5.1) is not well handled, all channels should be > filled to set a multi-channel output : if I output six tracks, I have to > input six tracks, I can't give only 4 and tell Savonet that the other ones > are blank. The treatment of arbitrary numbers of channels, and the conversions between different sources using different numbers of channels, are at the very beginning of my roadmap to 1.0. While I cannot give any estimation for 1.0, I think we'll have a reasonable support for what you ask before this summer. However, you must be prepared to use an unstable tool (unstable not in terms of crashing, hopefully, but more in terms of changing the way things are done). Concerning the conversions between different numbers of channels, it will probably be done using an explicit operator. The operator that adds blank channels is trivial to write, but it would be useless in the current version of liq where it is impossible to manipulate heterogeneous formats. > * Operators should work for multichannel edition. Once there is a core support for the notion of format, we'll be able to precisely track which operators work on an arbitrary number of channels or not. I suggest that you start playing with liquidsoap only on stereo files, to get an idea of how it works and what you need exactly. Starting next month, we'll add more multi-format support and you'll be able to experiment with it quite quickly. I understand that you may not be used to work like that. We're only volunteers, but we're reactive: don't hesitate to mail us any question. I'll send mail(s) to the list on of these days to collect user wishes about the new 1.0 features, notably concerning multiple channels: stay tuned! > Moreover, HD3D will try (we don't know OCAML) to provide new > features to savonet project like upmix, dowmix... That would be sweet.
