You only need about 133MHz for what you're doing.
Some ideas:
- Use a 133Mhz PC
- Use a laptop (better power management than a 1999-era desktop PC)
Thanks.
I thought of both, but still too power-hungry. How about something
that runs off of a wall wart? My DSL modem with ARM7 CPU runs Linux
and supports ethernet--it just don't have a sound chip. I don't need
video a CD-ROM, hard disk or floppy; just network access with the
ability to flash from the network. Even one of the VIA C3 boards is
more than I need.
Any other ideas?
Cheers,
Chuck

Have alook at the supported hardware on the openvrt site, and
find a
router with two usb conectors, that way you can hang a external usb
soundcard and a usb flash on it.
I am using a asus WL-500g box here which boots debian of the flashdisk,
and drives a webcam. Those boxes are resonable powerfull onces, with 4mb
internal flash and 16mb memory. Most of those boxes are mips based, so its
easy to put a debian on a stick and use that, the openwrt distribution is
a bit limited itself, but a small script to setup, the root drive, mount
and then change the rootdrive to the usbstick helps.

And thusly were the wise words spake by Chuck Guzis
I would suggest the MediaMVP, but it does not support RA streams.
Only MP3 with the included software, MP3, OGG, AC3, FLAC and
uncompressed WAV with the open-source media player.
