    altough I just emailed this to contact@campware.org, I also post it here.
    Just found out about the existence of a mailinglist..

    We've got one more set-up question (or actually two). We've configured our
    Ubuntu 8.04 server and we've imported our music. We've also installed and
    configured our Broadcast PC with Ubuntu Studio 7.10. There are also about
    15 journalists workstations (also with ubuntu studio 7.10), but that
    doesn't really matter.

    We've actually got two problems:

    1.
    The scheduler is working fine, but we don't know how to set the audio
    output from the scheduler to the broadcast PC. We've tried editing the
    GStreamer Audio player to ':hw:0.0' in
    campcaster-scheduler.xml (on the server) but that doesn't work.
    (We need this because the server doesn't have a soundcard and because the
    server is far away from the mixer)


    2.
    Although we've got NFS going (maybe you should also add something in the
    howto for how to set this up with a server without X Wink ) and with
    campcaster-studio we can browse our library, but when we try to load (into
    scratchpad, or any other thing) it, it gives something like: error in
    SearchWindow::onAddToScratchpad(): XML-RPC method
    'locstor.downloadMetadataOpen' returned error message:
    805 - xr_downloadMetadataOpen: BasicStor::bsAccess: real file not found
    (/opt/campcaster/var/Campcaster/storageServer/var/stor/33d/33d0e674654fdaa0.xml)

    and the strange thing is that on the server there is nothing inside the
    33d folder. Maybe this is because we've added the audio with the --link
    function instead of copy? But it's strange that the scheduler actually can
    find it. So maybe it's something with NFS? But that's also strange since
    it can find the file in the library.

    We're looking forward to your answer.

    PS Maybe you are wondering why we are using this setup: it's because the
    server is there for sharing the pieces of work, the music and everything
    over the whole network. if we used a normal PC for this, there would be a
    reasonable chance that during multiple harddisk actions the PC would
    freeze. this would ofcourse be devastating for the live program
    (especially if playing from campcaster, but also if people are just
    playing music).

    PS2 Where can you change the station's time? System Clock or can you also
    do something custom?

    PS3 the link on the frontpage of your website to the video tutorials for
    campcaster doesn't work (http://cc_tut.redall.de/)
