Still looking at the examples and docs and cases, but this might be just what I need to fill some gaps—at least in future iterations. Particularly a simple encoder/transcoder interface.
Are there any live examples viewable/listenable?
Check out this project called libretime, in the past they used liquid soap for their playback. Basically it's an online Foss radio streaming platform mainly used for radiostations to add in automation for their coverage
LibreTime looks to be a lot larger than the domain I'm working to serve but it looks great and also looks like a good place to take notes on open sourcing an audio project.
