At my last company we setup a P133 with 64Mb running Linux and a RealAudio
3.0 server to do live feeds of the daily news for a local TV station.
There is a command line recording utility that has an option for live
feeds - we just combined this with some Perl and hey presto! No need for
WinBlows :-)
