Usage

For now, please don't use the setup.py, it has not been fully tested. Copy the contents of the package to a directory, and run:

./nrbconsole-runner.py

If desired, one can use a shell script to set up pulse audio, such that it monitors both the line-in and the sound played by the programs running on the pc. This allows you to play the jingles and broadcast their sounds, as well as youtube movies for instance.
