DDAR and continuous source audio

[Kevin Hawkins <tivo@xxxxxxx>]

This may be a very silly question and all may become clear when I get my
DDAR. but..

Is there any way of supporting a continuous audio source eg a radio
station to play through DDAR's ? I was thinking along the lines of either
digital radio or real time encoding the audio to an MP3 format and writing
to a file on a PC that was simultaneously being read for the DDAR's. I know
the files will get large but they could be wiped every so often I guess.

Pushing this a little further would it be feasible to select different
radio stations say by using IR selection to change the radio station and
write some info that the DDAR would pick up to display a station name or
RDS
data on their displays ?..  Thinking (not my forte) laterally maybe this
might be useable in some way to also get remote lcd displays using the
DDAR's - poss playing a silent track whose title is altered ?  might be
able
to coerce them into being remote controllers for HA in some form... an
alternative to the lcd keypad perhaps.
