Internet radio server

Enables your unix server broadcast audio in streaming mp3 format.

bisqradio has been written by Joel Yliluoma, a.k.a. Bisqwit,
and is distributed under the terms of the General Public License (GPL).

GNU make is required.
PHP standalone binary is required.
LAME is required.
esd is deprecated.
ssh can also be used.

The embedded wg also requires fftw.

Note: If you want to look at earlier versions, have a look at wavegenerator. The earlier versions were together in a same archive.

$ make
$ su
# make install

If you do not want to install libargh (included in the archive), do not use "make install" and edit Makefile and enable the STATIC linking instead of DYNAMIC.

Edit /usr/local/share/bisqradio/bisqradio.conf. Specify your configuration there. The example config file is quite much filled with comments so you shouldn't have problems understanding it.

Start two daemons: mixer and bisqradio.
The mixer program is responsible for mixing streams together and bisqradio is responsible of serving the clients.

Try this:

mixmon | ecat

This command listens to the mixer and you will hear what the clients would hear (but in better quality).

Now you can feed the mixer. Play whatever you want. Examples:

find -name \*.mp3 > tmptmp; mpg123 -s -vvvvz -@ tmptmp | mixwrite
spcplay -ua -o- ct-600ad.spc | mixwrite
erec -2r44100 none | mixwrite

You can run them at the same time or different time if you wish, depending what you want to feed to the clients.

killall mixer radio_tcp bisqradio radio_http \
        radio_mp3 mixmon mixwrite resample mixeridle

Might be overkill, but should work...

bisqradio consists of several tool programs, which work tightly together.

Listens to the HTTP queries to satisfy the clients (the browsers and the players).

Responsible of generating the mp3 feed for a client from a given input.

Optionally run if required. Launches the mp3 encoder on remote computer (with possibly more cpu power).

The center of the radio. Servers clients with feed from the mixer process piped through the mp3 encoder. Doesn't read the mixer if there are no clients. Doesn't keep other clients waiting if somebody is lagging.
Doesn't bother to decode mp3 frames, so it will possibly give broken frames at the beginning. Most mp3 decoders survive from it without any faults, so it is not serious. Shoutcast and icecast seem to do the same.

These tool programs are actually part of another software package available separately. It's included within this archive too, anyway.

Generates semiquiet stream. Useful if you want to keep the mixer quiet (if your mixeridle if not so quiet). Does not just output zero. Plain zero stream is hard to analyze for LAME.

These tools are also a part of another software package, but they are here too.

A stream mixing server. It accepts mixwrite and mixmon -connections.
Provides a server for audio stream mixing.
Meant to be a replacement for esd, with much more features and much less cpu usage.

Monitors the mixer over a tcp connection, reading whatever is being mixed to it.

Sends stream to the mixer over a tcp connection.

Resamples audio stream from one format to another format.

Generates idle stream for the mixer, if there are readers for the mixer but no writers.
Actually has been hardcoded to play something nasty... you should customize it :)

It has serious problems surviving when there are more than one listeners...
