hi everyone, JFI, I gave the CuBox ( http://www.solid-run.com/products/cubox ) a try with Liquidsoap. It features an ARM v7 Sheeva @ 800Mhz, which is quite close to what the Raspberry Pi offers, a bit beefed up though.
After having bricked the box several times I finally managed to use a bare armel port of Debian along with the Liquidsoap package maintained by Romain (dllliquidsoap.so had to be separately compiled though) The poor little CPU cannot handle a single dynamically compressed (using the compress() operator) 128kpbs MP3 stream, that's really a shame. I doubt the armhf port of lame will do much better, I may be wrong though. According to my tests, you need at least an Atom N270 or a 1.2Ghz Via Nano to get such a stream running seamlessly. I use a couple of N330 in production, each processor can easily handle two 128kbps MP3 streams (one per core, between 3% and 70% of CPU usage depending on the work to perform on the track) with on-the-fly transcoding, normalization, and companding, and yet there's still a lot of CPU headroom: the 2 hyperthreading threads remain available for everything else.
