I have set up a single channel version of what you are trying to do using MPD (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Music_Player_Daemon">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Music_Player_Daemon</a>) with a web-front end. My preferred front-end is pitchfork, but that appears to be a dead project. I believe you could run multiple instances of MPD. And each instance of MPD can connect to multiple sound cards. MPD can also be set up to stream via Icecast.<br>
<br>Please keep us updated on what you decide to do. This is a very interesting undertaking!<br><br>Josh Kite<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Oct 9, 2009 at 12:56 PM, Greg Clifton <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:gccfof5@gmail.com">gccfof5@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>
<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">So we're working on a project that we may try to sell to the home theater/whole house audio segment. Basically the intent is to put perhaps as many as 4 (or more if possible) sound cards into a single system and be able to port different audio streams out the different sound cards to different zones. The intent is to be able to have simultaneous audio playback of different sound files to different zones in a whole house audio system.<br>
<br>Looks like it can't be done with I-tunes, but could be done with WinAmp. Before I dig deeply into Linux solutions myself, I thought I should ask the brain trust. Any suggestions on feasibility and suggested approach under Linux?<br>
<br>Much appreciated,<br><font color="#888888">Greg Clifton<br><br><br><input type="hidden"><input type="hidden"><div></div>
