      I have just uploaded the first version of "rtptsaudio".   This is an 
      audio-only client for dvbstream and is the start of a project to make a 
      reliable (i.e. error-detecting and correcting) client for dvbstream.
    
</p>

<p>
      It is available at <a href="http://www.linuxstb.org">http://www.linuxstb.org</a>.

      The program extracts the mpeg audio stream from the transport stream 
      broadcast by dvbstream and then pipes it to an external program (e.g. madplay 
      or mpg123) to actually play the sound.  The next stage of development iis to 
      incorporate the mpeg audio decoder into rtptsaudio.

      It includes a lot of code from Marcus Metzler's mpegtools - thanks go to him 
      and Convergence for making it available under the GPL.

      Thanks, David!
