J. There's one open source app that might be ripe for imbedding:
VLC http://www.videolan.org/vlc/index.html cross-platform, the source is available, and if one can open a window from the command line.... This idea was inspired a little mac app called NICECAST. A beautiful mac front end with an ICECAST server inside. I checked out the app bundle, and sure enough, there was a folder with the ICECAST code in there. If it has the right hooks, VLC could be the basis for a library. If this has been tried before, I apologize. sqb On Thu, Jan 17, 2013 at 6:38 PM, J.
