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the a bit outdated diagram shows, how mplayer and pd are interacting: http://www.radiosolarkompass.org/tech/rsk_diagramm.png (with a recent mplayer, the jack.plumbing part isn't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).

I need to make an "interactive tuner" ...
