I'm not sure if this is the right forum, but someone might know the answer. I am trying to create a "sound node", or a machine with multiple sound boards at which audio streams can be pointed. I am looking at NAS, and assigning each sound board a different port number, as in /dev/dsp0 -> 9000, /dev/dsp1 -> 9001, etc. First off, how many boards will FreeBSD support, and has anyone tried this before? The eventual goal is to stream data from a master server to this box, and from this box, pipe the audio to different rooms. Since the server has no free IRQ's, an offboard solution is required. I would think an old Pentium system would handle the requirements, given that the machine will only be running sound daemons, and maybe telnet. Lastly, does anyone know of a way to control the mixer remotely, or do you just set the volume at a comfortable level and adjust the input mix?
