[linux-dvb] Announcing: DVBaudio v0.1 (a hacked mpegtools)

[Dave Chapman <dave@dchapman.com>]

I've been hacking Marcus's mpegtools (from v0.8.1) a little, and have written 
a utility which can be used to record a radio station (or the sound from a TV 
station if you wish) directly as an audio elementary stream. - i.e. an "mpeg" 
file that freeamp or mpg123 can understand directly.

It can also be used as a "cgi-bin" program to stream audio data over your LAN 
to either mpg123 or freeamp using http.  It can be downloaded from:

http://www.linuxstb.org/dvbaudio/

The code is 99% from mpegtools - I'm distributing it again for simplicity.  
Maybe this should be merged with the "official" mpegtools? The difference 
between dvbaudio and mpegtools are simple a new function "TS_to_ES" in 
cpptools.cc (a combination of TS_to_PES and extract_es_audio_from_pes) and a 
replacement main.cc.

I've only tested the http streaming with a couple of radio stations on Astra 
28E and Freeamp v2.0.7 on a Win98 machine.  However, it seems to work 
perfectly without any corruption to the audio.

I would welcome any feedback on this program - especially it's (and 
freeamp's) compatibility with different radio/TV stations.

Regards,

Dave.
