[pulseaudio-discuss] Shoutcast/Icecast sink for pulseaudio

[Matt Patterson]

Sean, Colin,

Thanks for the help. This is exactly what I was looking for.

I think at the moment I am looking to stay an "integrator" of pulse 
functionality, not a developer of it. I am always happy to share back my 
findings/work/code (hacky many times) though.

You guys are doing an awesome job with this product though. I have 3 
zones (of 5) currently setup for whole home audio and pulse has been an 
absolutely reliable rock. Good work!

Matt
