Reading from /dev/audio get audio at a rather low 8Khz rate and mono too, from whatever the 'record' source is set to. You can check that with 'mixer' or 'xmixer' > Nothing can write to the audio device if nc is reading from it. No, but nothing is writing to it in my 2 line example above. > Anychance of a copy of your client/server? Probably not :-( I'd have to get permission to release it as it was written here at work. > I'm assuming if I had BT's in the servers > I'd have to hack fxtv or some bt878 code to tune > in the radio stations? You can set the tuner on Bt878 cards with just 1 ioctl command. Take a look at the guts of programs like xmradio for an example. It tells you want to do somewhere on my web site too. www.telepresence.strath.ac.uk/bt848 somewhere there is an API document.
