Some questions about a setup with PCIMAX3000+ on linux.
Posted: Sun May 27, 2012 9:28 pm
Hello,
I'm planning to build a basic FM broadcasting setup at home with a PCIMAX3000+ inside a pc on linux (latest ubuntu).
I have a few questions about what can be done...
I'd like to:
- use the digital audio input/pc sound card USB profile
- use the RDS option to match the song title played
- use a python script to start/stop the broadcasting and send the RDS info.
Do I need to wait for a custom linux driver to use the digital audio input (saw that on another thread) ?
If such driver is never released, or is not compatible with the linux release I use, I guess I could still use the analog audio input, but what about setting up the settings and parameters ?
How can I send the RDS information in realtime to the PCIMAX3000+ programmaticaly ? Should I use this same driver with some C/C++ dev ?
Or could I use some USB virtual com port to send it to the card ?
Could I start / stop the emitter programmatically too using this very same interface ?
My main concern is about having to rely/depend of some custom drivers that would hardly be maintained over time.
If some generic USB audio and com drivers (for example) could be used, that would be great...
Thanks for your help,
Nicolas.
