:) OK, will see if it's more sensible.

Cool :) Hopefully it'll fit in neatly with the RAOP stuff.


My initial naive hope that I could just copy and paste code from
raop_play has now evaporated so I'll just have to learn how it all works
which is a PITA as there are few comments on roap_play. I'll maybe see
if there are other implementations out there to copy from e.g.
http://rubyforge.org/projects/raop/

It's probably sickeningly simple to create a pipe-sink with this trivial
ruby script: http://offthelip.org/?p=15 but that's cheating :)
