Hi all,

I know everyone's busy with the pre-1.0 final checks, but I wanted to flag
a feature request Frans has come up with regarding satellite audio.

As an aside, for those of you who want to submit feature requests, please
do so via our bug tracking database, at http://bugs.campware.org.

Here's how he put it in the feature request (Mantis bug 1376):

If the studio is be at a place with only low band width or a bad internet
connection and you want to broadcast a satellite uplink.

For example with the BBC News (like now with a internet stream)

We can do it with a 60-70 dollar linux DVB-S pci satellite card into the
scheduler server, but we need a satellite stream element player. The
stream is be already real digital MPEG.

The main library's are available form Linux TV the DVB (-s satellite)
part, supporting a lot of cards. http://www.linuxtv.org/

Are there library's we can use from gstreamer ?


I suppose the scheduler could handle a stream like this in a method
similar to how it handles an Internet stream currently; the scheduler
simply knows that at this time it turns the source of the audio to the
stream. In the event there's a DVB card (or other method possibly, like
using an existing satellite box?), it just switches the audio to that
source. Maybe it could conceivably just turn the audio source to the line
in?

This is just at a feature request stage, but I can easily see this being
included in 1.1, if not sooner.
