I also agree with you, Dave, that it's a great little project card. I've
been wanting to do a little web-based media server for the living room
that doesn't take a bunch of room or power, and a RPi running Linux seems
perfect - once I'm done playing with it. But then I'll just buy another
one for play purposes. :-) -- Ian K7PDP
I have one of my Raspberries doing exactly that:
- mp3 archive is mounted via NFS over OpenVPN-over-WLAN
- mpd (Music Player Daemon) is used to play - which has a ton
of different frontends, so I can even control it from my phone ;-)
- an external USB-Audio device takes care of the sound output due to
the problems of the Raspberry Pi line out
Works just fine ;-)
Kind regards,
Alex.
