[arm-allstar] Issues with Broadcastify streaming audio off of my node...

Thanks Doug!
Now for a related question...
Is there a way to be able to have multiple nodes on one RasPi send to multiple separate streams on Broadcastify?
Here's my application - I had a couple of Windoze based "scanner servers" setup.  One for a couple of ham streams for repeaters and one for a bunch of public safety frequencies for surrounding counties.  I got the two ham repeater streams taken care of on a couple of Ras Pi's - an it's working just fine...  NO MORE DE-SENSE from my shack radios on the scanners! YAY!  The nodes just stream it right out - and it sounds great...
Now, I still have one more old Windoze box with SEVEN scanners hanging off of it, all on EMS, Fire, Police and airport frequencies; for my county and several surrounding counties.  The VFD's, the local city Fire Department and the EMS guys use my feeds on their smart phones and it has become a trusted resource.  So I want to keep it going for them!  But I need to retire the Windoze boxes, I keep having to reboot them, their memory is failing, caps are drying out, etc...  It is no longer reliable like it once was.

So I am thinking I want to try putting them on a little stack of Pi's...  But I didn't want to use SEVEN of them, more like 2, 3 or 4 maybe...
Do you think it is possible with little sound fobs?
Thanks!Bill - N5MBMwww.n5mbm.net

I need to update the howto. Will do that tomorrow. ezstream is now
available as a package download -

pacman -Syu hamvoip-ezstream

No compile necessary.
