At first I thought a Line Input would be a good Suggestion but I am no longer a supporter of it.

Having use Linux over the last 6 years  and knowing audio is one of the most horrifying thing,I would not support this.

 From OSS to Alsa to Pulse Audio to whats next

here is my setup  http://forum.sourcefabric.org/discussion/15584/here-is-my-setupwhat-is-your-setup-and-how-can-i-improve-mine.

tell us about yours and lets  see if we can use others way.

Please note I have installed Rivendell,Radio DJ and other and found my setup above to be the best applicable to my stuation

Mine work ideally for my studio to remote station

Would this be better

Move your users to SHOW Source ,its second  and leave your Master  for you to be able to overide each person

set up a custom authentication along with a user authentication(this can be either from the known person or as a second custom user

set up schedules for the show times you expect them

My senario,last sunday my team was out the night before they just call and said program for the some music until the right dj awake and when he came on the listener did not even know.

The person can tap in anytime and remeber you can just click the master to disconnect/connect

I have Used Mytv all this time and mythroku for television in my home. all this time.

Last year Mythbuntu finally settle to use ALSA. I can bet the headache the developers will have as they move to deal with Audio for multiple inputs

I used Rivendell,I get finally fed up after trying with 2496 cards and delta 1010
I wish The developers luck on linux side


you could also use fail over mounts  to overide any one if you use shoutcast

while programs like Mixxx supports much input source the streaming is done straight to icecast/shoutcast.

I wonder how this would incorporate liquidsoap and would that be necessary

Remember Airtime was developed to be place in remote centers such as data centers.

I would hate to see us trying to find solutions for sound card problems

ALSA isMajor Problem

Easily

So as not to have any disruption to other djs already on the list (of 80 something)

Just wait until you have a schedule play (best if you have off line Ls_script)

1. you could break schedules in  calendar [12 hour day 12 hour night repeat with no end] [Sunday to Saturday] .I break Mine in 1 hour shows
   
2. Create a newdj in Users with Username mystationdj  password passmystation   [ replace with your own this is the authenticated user].This must be a dj not admin etc.
3. Set up [Create] two shows one for example called day,the other called night
4. In the when button put [12 hour day 12 hour night repeat with no end] [Sunday to Saturday]
5. In Line Input tick Airtime Authentication and also tick Custom Authentication
   
6. Make the Custom Usernamer  source Custom Password something I give djs [use source because you want clients without username others to log in similar to Master configuration before]
7. In Who Tick your newdj (mystationdj) unless they wont be able to authenticated
8. Save and you are ready to go Now you have two types of Dj that can be authenticated at SHOW and all your previous Masters
   
9. If you want a particular Dj or one off show at a particular Time you  can later go back and edit that show in your calendar
   
10. You can Modify your Stream auto on and off  to suit your needs.I leave mine on,but for better control you could turn it off so that whenever anyone want to go live you just click the SHOW button and Change your Master password to whatever you want .
    
11. Now you can decide when anyone get control of airtime playout.

Rivendell run best on a 64bit Machine,Likewise Jack for latency and Realtime. Unless the load will crash Jack often.

I have had to run Rivendell as just for Playout only on 32bit machine. and will be using it again for master desk at the main station

I still subscribe that Linux should be able to run on the lowest level equipment to reach a massive population

I never knew the love of My netbook until I put Linux on it (They were so crappy with XP and Windows 7 starter editions)

Now I put MiXXX [1.11 is so sweet] on my netbook and all people ask me "What is that software?"

I puts These steps for anyone want a good Fail over  and Transitions from Live

I also would encourage anyone to  use the calendar schedules,You can just put shows (day and night). it takes 1 -2 minutes

You really can be versatile with what you want airtime to do with schedules.

I think Jingles Sweepers,News  and other Schedule playouts should be prioritize

Proper silence detection with fail over, DMFT  and Fail-over are equally as important along will normalization on media ingestion

The way my setup is as describe here http://forum.sourcefabric.org/discussion/15584/here-is-my-setupwhat-is-your-setup-and-how-can-i-improve-mine give you multiple input /output.

Look also at Idjc they do multiple Inputs through Jack.Maybe this could be adopted for Airtime.
