[IMC-Audio] new indy radio project

[lotu5]

I think the imc radio list is the place to ask for hosting.

As for archiving and podcasting, radioActive sanDiego was moving towards 
using drupal, which has an esay to use interface so that djs can upload 
their shows and have them automatically podcasted, because each user 
account has its own rss feed which is their podcast. I think that 
radio.indy runs on drupal now as well.

We have some simple linux scripts for starting and ending an archive 
using icecast, but they're not very good as they kick all listeners off 
of the stream. I think you'll need to compile the kernel so that you can 
have multiple instances of darkice running and accessing the sound 
device. We didn't do this, so we would just stop darkice and restart it 
with a config file that included a local file archive. Not at all the 
best solution, but since it was also on fm and podcast, it wasn't 
totally priority. It always seemed like there were few online live 
listeners, like 1/10 of the number that would podcast or 1/100th even.

I just never got around to writing something better. I think mark has 
some scripts that they were using in sf for archiving that are better.
