> Right, I'm just curious if anyone's tried to do this with FreeBSD. Not in my car, no. But in my home, yes. The machine room (well, machine closet is more accurate), has a rack with my main fileserver in it, which recently got a sound card installed into it. I've been using "tosha" (in the ports collection) to "rip" the data off audio CDs and saving them to disk. I'm using "sox" to convert the raw PCM data into .wav format. And I'm using the 8hz MP3 encoder (see http://www.8hz.com) to encode them. 8hz provides a FreeBSD binary of their encoder free of charge. Finally, the machine closet also contains my amplifier and equalizer, which takes the outputs from the soundcard. I use mpg123 (also in the ports collection) to play the MP3 files (located in /usr/local/share/mpeg, of course) to play them out, using Luigi's sound driver. Wiring into the various rooms' speakers provides the sound! And it's 100% FreeBSD. :-) --Sean To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
