Hi, Yeah, it may take a while before you get used to OCaml, depending on where you come from. But it's worth it, it's a great language. You can find books and tutorials online, I don't have any particular recommendation, see what fits your style.
Concerning the architecture of the liquidsoap sources, we don't have enough docs on that. One thing that can help, though, is to run "make doc" and have a look at the generated HTML files in autodoc/liquidsoap -- all this is from the liquidsoap subdirectory, not from toplevel in liquidsoap-full. You certainly don't need to understand all parts of liquidsoap. If you are looking for something specific, some bug or feature you'd like to address, or just some part of the code you'd like to play with, don't hesitate to ask where to look.
