Re: [Peep-develop] Shoutcast/Icecast Hookup

  Hey August. While piping to stdout is not directly
supported, you could probably get this working with
a bit of the script foo. Here's what I figure will
work:

1) Create a fifo in the locale file system

2) Start up Peep and set the --snd-device=<your fifo>.
You'll see an error about setting the ioctls but that
shouldn't affect anything.

3) Write a quick script that just camps on the pipe
with a select and writes the output directly to STDOUT.

4) Pipe to the cast n' good luck. heh

  What'll get kicked to STDOUT will be raw 16-bit little-endian PCM,
since that's what Peep uses internally to represent the sound data,
as well as the data that Peep writes to the sound device.

  Keep us posted. This might be a good way to support the *casts
in the interrum, until we can offer tighter integration.
