NodeFloyd

=========

Here is an example of an [Icecast][]-compliant server written in JavaScript

and [NodeJS][]. The current setup uses nTunes to request and play all the "Pink

Floyd" songs in my iTunes library. The script could be tweaked to stream any

kind of audio data to the Node server. The server is expecting (on _stdin_):

 * Raw PCM Audio Data

 * 2 Channel

 * 16-bit samples

 * 44,100 samples per second

 * Little-endian

Installation

------------

I won't bother publishing this simple example to the __npm__ registry, but you

can install a local version to hack on like this:

    git clone git://github.com/TooTallNate/NodeFloyd.git

    cd NodeFloyd

    npm link --local

You will also need the external programs `lame` and `oggenc` installed and

visible to your `$PATH`.

Usage

-----

To launch the server simply invoke the `NodeFloyd` executable (available in

your `PATH` after installation with _npm_), or `./decodeFromNTunes.sh` from

the root directory of the repo.

That will launch an HTTP (Icecast) server on port __5555__. Go there on an

HTML5 `` compatible web browser (try your smartphone!).
