Hi David, >From what I can figure out, what you're suggesting is the dump.start and dump.stop commands inside a source? Thats a possibility, but my sources can switch. In some instances I will be mainly collecting from ALSA input, and on a failure of that source I switch to a local .pls. Using the dump function, I am thinking that the source is just written out as it comes in, so coming from ALSA I'd just be writing out raw PCM data, but the local .pls might be an any format?
What I need to do is make sure that the files are always saved in MP3, so I need to transcode the stream into MP3 and then I was thinking of using output.file to write the files out. output.file would then have to be switchable. The files we log need to be in MP3 because there are some shows that are recorded and edited for re-play at a later date, and some made available on the web site for 'listen again'. Is it possible to switch the output.file somehow? I can't get my head around the logic at the moment (it is early in the morning!!). If anyone could give a simple example I'm sure I can figure out the rest.
