radio_mcast(1)

Name
radio_mcast - a radio multicast server

Synopsis
radio_mcast [ options ]

Description

This program takes a stream of audio input from stdin, and uses the ULTRIX packet-filter to multicast data on to the Ethernet. The radio_recv client can be used to listen for the data, and then send it to a AF client such as aplay or xplay. The program only works on machines that have kernel support for the ULTRIX packet-filter.

-s size

    Specify the sample size of the audio source, the default is 8 bits per sample.

-i interface
