if you *really* care about networked audio, I *think* mpd can do it natively in the latest versions... (Plus, an mpd client would be pretty neat ;P).

(There's a good possibility I'm remembering this wrong, since I used to use it with icecast... PulseAudio, on the other hand, can do it, IIRC, but it's a mixer/server...)

[root@kindle bin]# arecord -D plughw:0 -f dat | ssh -C me@192.168.1.69 aplay -f dat

works okay...

perhaps I can convince the player to spit out a similar thing

Thanks dude I'll check that out then

padevchooser was mysteriously nerfed (thank you ghost, not) for the wheezy release but I see it has crept back in...

will spy on mpd

This?

NiLuJe · 10-05-2013, 01:19 PM

@twobob: Yep. I might have been dreaming the networking support though ;p.

twobob · 10-05-2013, 05:13 PM

hmm I built jackd with net support :P

Guess I should recompile this thing with jack support the next time I tidy it up

twobob · 10-05-2013, 06:42 PM

Version 1.1 released.

All known bugs fixed.
Jack backend support mangled in there.

Holy cow! looking at the patch, this was a LOT of new stuff. You really seem to be doing well changing the gtk stuff. Adding a menu with the quit button, making the keyboard work- good stuff! Thanks again!

The application is not running in the background while reading.

When will be possible to listen to radio stations in streaming via WiFi?

Check the post dates.

Short answer: Approximately never.

Glover · 02-19-2015, 06:59 PM

Any other application exists?

brianinmaine · 02-19-2015, 09:03 PM

even though the Kindle runs Linux, multitasking is a major problem. Getting programs to run on the top window is a PITA. I don't think anyone has been able to do what you want - music while reading.

Since I'm in the USA, I use pianobar or pianobarfly sometimes on my Kindle to listen/record streaming from Pandora. Mplayer is used to play the songs downloaded. If you want just streaming radio, mplayer can do that well, just not while reading

(at least I can't, maybe you can?)

Glover · 02-20-2015, 02:31 AM

I'm trying to do so with mplayer. I'm still trying...

Multitasking on the Kindle Touch is probably not a problem, since Amazon has created a music player application to hear music while reading. One of its drawbacks is the lack of streaming and the inability to listen to a song from the selected location.

brianinmaine · 02-20-2015, 04:04 AM

maybe this will be of help:

not sure how you would stop/control mplayer once it is started, or even change volume?

let us know how you make out please!

Glover · 02-20-2015, 04:21 AM

Of course I will share any success. If only I can handle the problem, but I see that it will be difficult.

Another thing that mplayer with a minimum volume too plays music loud.

Do, or do not. There is no try.
