Always cool to participate in a networked/streamed/collaborative project! Been doing that since 1990! In regard to your comments, Grant, I would challenge the group to come up with a spec'ed streambox configuration that can be packaged and perhaps sold to streamers where ever they might be located (I'm in the rural US west). While I have a strong electrical engineering background and definitely appreciate the discussions about devices on the list (and at aporee), I just don't have the time to tinker with testing a bunch of components and fabricate them into a reasonable device that I can deploy. Thus I have a system consisting of an older MacBook Pro running nicecast to locusonus with a Yeti mike (or I can use my Zoom H4n as mike), sticking the mike out an open window. This configuration is really not practical or possible to keep running all the time for a variety of reasons.
Cheers, John

It would be good if we can use some of the new low cost / low power streamboxes to make some of these streams available over the longer term. Maybe this can be a plan for the coming year..
