How to stream audio via MinimServer from the sound card inputs on a local PC?
I'd like to stream multichannel audio from a multichannel USB audio sound card's inputs to my UPnP control points and renderers.
How should I go about doing that?? Can anyone suggest software on a PC (Windows or Linux) that can stream the inputs on a sound card in a way that Minimserver and/or minimstreamer can make available to UPnP control points and renderers, and also tell me a little about how to set up MinimServer and friends to handle this? |

It isn't possible to use MinimServer or MinimStreamer to do this. You would need the audio stream to be available as an HTTP network stream. |

It appears that VLC, for one, can take the output of a "capture unit", like a sound card, and make that available as a stream, and the stream formats/types available in VLC seem to include HTTP. Could mimimserver serve that up, or must the renderer know about HTTP streams? |

A .m3u playlist can include entries for HTTP network streams. You would need to find the HTTP URL that VLC is using to serve the audio and add this URL to a .m3u playlist file in your music library. MinimServer would read the .m3u playlist file and make the network stream available in the "# playlists" section of your library for browsing and selection. Everything else is handled by the normal UPnP protocol between the server, the control point and the renderer. |
