| + | Liquidsoap is an odd bird. It's an Ocaml based tool for streaming audio, and now video as well. Until recently (as of 5/2013), the distros that include liquidsoap (Ubuntu and Debian) provided the 0.92 version. With version 1.x.x came incompatible language changes, more features, and many bugs fixed. Ubuntu and Debian are now distributing 1.x.x version(s). Liquidsoap apparently runs well on most versions of Linux, but for other flavours, such as Fedora/RedHat/CentOS, you'll have to build it yourself. This is a signpost: if you're messing with audio, you probably want to be running Ubuntu/Debian (unless you have religious or other issues about distros). Liquidsoap is a whole other topic, and I'll address that in another Wiki page soon: importantly, what does and what doesn't work (as documented). | ||

- is an audio router system that can coexist with ALSA. I'll be writing more about this soon! Jack involves a yet another server daemon. It appears Jack may be the best way to deal with audio on a VPS (Virtual Server) where audio/motherboard hardware is not available. | - is an audio router system that can coexist with ALSA.
