Dear pd Friends I have a sort of OT question that i thought i would post here
I have a friend who is doing an installation for a doctors office and he sent me these three requests
He is using linux, i am pretty sure ubuntu and gnome
he needs it to
1.) Network controlled audio player 2.) cross fade songs on command not just at end of song 3.) be command line or tcp socket
i thought maybe esd or ecasound might do it but it loks like they do not Any suggestions would be appreciated, the office opens monday and he, while a good programmer needs a quick fix for the ribbon cutting
Can PD perform this without GUI?
thanks!

PD can perform that, even better mocp can perform that, never tried cross fades but probably it does that.

Yes, in many different ways, depending on the audio format you want to play and how you want to control it over the network.
You might try using a pair of readanysf~ objects, netreceive, and some simple logic for the crossfading volume.
You can start pd on the command line with the -nogui argument. It works great.
As an alternative, you might research mplayer. It can be started in command mode in a pipe through python or some other scripting language that has network capabilities. You could receive commands in the scripting language through a server socket and pass them on to one or more instances of mplayer. I believe you can use the -softvol arg to mplayer to control each instance's volume with software instead of the master sound card.
suerte! -august.
don't bother with pd, mpd (no relation) is designed specifically with those sort of requirements in mind. crossfades, cli interface, large playlist support, multiple formats, tcp/ip control, many clients, uses multiple backends including oggcast/icecast. it will run on any platform and can be controlled by a smartphone.

I can second that; I've been using mpd at home on my linux system for quite a while for doing exactly what you're asking. There are DOZENS of different clients for it on just about every platform you can name. I even wrote a simple one for the iPhone while learning iOS programming.
