[SoX-users] fun with sox - barefoot mp3 streaming

[D. S. <new...@gm...>]

Here's one way I've listened to shoutcast (icecast) mp3 streams using
nothing but wget and sox (mine is v12.18).

### barefoot mp3 stream player: ###

playlist_url="http://somafm.com/startstream=dronezone.pls"

# playlist url -> (mp3) stream url
mp3stream_url=`wget -q -O - "$playlist_url" \
   | awk '/^File/{sub(/File[0-9]*=/,""); print}' | tail -1 `

# play the mp3 stream (may have to restart if it doesn't guess bit
rate correctly)
wget -q -O - "$mp3stream_url"  | sox  -t mp3 -  -t ossdsp /dev/dsp
