Im a high quali ty > kinda guy :) Look I know where you are coming from is just that mpeg streams at 112kb does not compare with RA's 28.8 streams. If we are going to compare high speed codecs we shall look into Dolby AC3 and have CD quality plus if you want to you can decode surround sound. As for the FreeBSD mpeg encoding /decoding we should write an utility with a nice tk or X interface : o ability to record audio from sound card or CD audio o ability to encode mpeg audio at various rates o juke box play back type functionality ... select audio files and order to play them back Write an RTPV2 based tool to transmit mpeg audio files Cheers, Amancio
