audio streaming in linux

[Christopher Moore]

Hello listers,
What audio formatscan we listen to in linux?  We can configure RealAudio,
but what about other formats?  
Thanks for the comments.

You can as well listen to .mp3. There is a version of WinAmp for Linux called
XMMS, but it can mostly be operated only from GUI. However, you can still pass
the file name to play on the command line. And, of course, .mid files will
play.
Regards,
VIc

Ehh. You can get either mpg123 or Freeamp, which both run at the Linux
console just fine. No GUI required.

Surprise surprise. It's at
www.freeamp.org

Works pretty well, too, and unlike mpg123, you can fast forward/rewind
through tracks. It doesn't start as fast as mpg123 does though, but it
plays just as well. You can get a compiled binary, or (better, IMO) the
source and compile it yourself from that site. Latest version, at least
when I got mine a couple weeks ago, was 2.5 (or 2.05, I forget).

OK, After hearing about this app I went and got the source. Compilation
works fine until the alsa plugin, then fails with the following error:

io/alsa/unix/linux/src/alsapmo.cpp:614: implicit declaration of function
`int sn
d_pcm_playback_params(...)'
make[1]: *** [io/alsa/unix/linux/src/alsapmo.o] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/jacobs/download/lynx/freeamp'
make: *** [plugins-cc] Error 2

Anybody got any ideas on this? I'd prefer not to remove ALSA if I don't
have to.

Why bother with XMMS?  You can use mpg123 and freeamp, which have
command-line interfaces.

http://www.freeamp.org has mpg123 freeamp and x-based 8user interfaces.
Use the -ui option to select the one you want supports esound alsa and oss/free
and Windows but the windows version doesn't talk at all well.
