connect your empeg to a winamp shoutcast server
If you are talking about PULLING the music from the shoutcast server, directly to the EMPEG and then to the stereo, no.... I don't think that you can, and I really don't think that DisplayServer is going to do it, unless there is some functionality built in that I didn't see in the source....
At the least, you would have to have an applet running on the empeg that connected to the shoutcast server, and wrote the music information to a FID that the Empeg is playing. Now, I don't know enough about the Player software, but it is possible... MAYBE, for it to be a named pipe type file, and the EMPEG to pull directly from the pipe. I'm thinking that the caching would play hell here. In the end, it would probably be easier to write a custom mp3 decoder that listened to the stream, and outputed to /dev/audio (I haven't even looked to see if that exists on the Empeg... Bad geek owner.)
So... If you are talking about serving MP3's to a shoutcast server, yeah, that's pretty doable. If you are talking about pulling FROM the server.... Not in it's current incarnation... AFAIK.
