RE: Re: Whole house audio and MP3 server question

["Ward, David" <David.Ward@xxxxxxx>]

That's exactly the setup I'm after.... When I get the time :-(

Under windows it is apparently possible, though the documentation is
scarce=
.
It seems to depend on the the sound card drivers used.
The only real references I could find were for PC based music mixing and
some source code in VB of all things.

If you fancy playing with linux take a look at 'Cajun MP3 player'. IIRC it
supports multiple sound cards and also LCD displays and keypads

the setup I was looking for, if it is possible, was to have one=20
central pc as the player, with maby four sond cards or a four output=20
sound card, then the pc would be controled with a browser from any pc=20
in the house, and then I could play from the central pc to four=20
seprate zone=B4s in the house.

any one here that has atempted that ?
