Hi,
I am trying to stream the desktop sounds (i.e. the same sound that is outputted through my speakers) from my laptop to my Squeezebox. I just want a simple solution to output e.g. Grooveshark on my stereo. It seems that icecast + ices2 should be able to do this, no?
However, I am not able to generate a stream containing any sound.
This is the input section of my ices configuration is:
<input>
<module>oss</module>
<param name="rate">44100</param>
<param name="channels">2</param>
<param name="device">/dev/dsp</param>
<!-- Read metadata (from stdin by default, or -->
<!-- filename defined below (if the latter, only on SIGUSR1) -->
<param name="metadata">1</param>
<param name="metadatafilename">test</param>
</input>
I suspect that I should be using another device or something like that . . . Basically, I need to know what device I need to point at to stream the desktop sounds. I have also tried to use the alsa module without luck, though.
I know a much more sophisticated system could be made using PulseAudio, but if I could make this simple setup work, it would be sufficient.
I would appreciate any input.
