I know the locusonus people were using Pd for receiving streams. Its
definitely possible.

Howdy,
I'm wondering if anyone has used PD to read internet radio streams?
in german, one would say 'jein', for yes and no. i did work on a
project with pd controlling radio streams, but i haven't used pd to actually receive the streams. i found mplayer to be very useful for that for several reasons:
- it supports many streaming formats (virtually all), no change to get
that in pd directly
- it's highly configurable
- it's commandline based and provides several ways for interaction
- it connects to jack
so what i did, is using pd to control two mplayer instances (in
order to get gapless crossfades between streams), which are routing their audio signals to pd over jack. the '-af pan' filter of mplayer is your
friend here.the a bit outdated diagram shows, how mplayer and pd are interacting: http://www.radiosolarkompass.org/tech/rsk_diagramm.png (with a recent mplayer, the jack.plumbing part isn't needed anymore.
you can route mplayer output to the correct pd input by simply using
proper commandline flags for mplayer. check '-af pan' and '-ao jack' in the
man page).roman
I need to make an "interactive tuner" ...
