[arm-allstar] nptee streaming

[David McGough]

Glenn,

The problem may be the command line for lame. There should be a "space" 
between the '-' and '2', like:

lame --preset cbr 16 -r -m m -s 8 --bitwidth 16 /tmp/outsound/n8jpr1 - 2>/tmp/status | ezstream -qvc /etc/ezstream.xml


Since the lame/ezstream command runs in the foreground, I launch these 
commands using the "screen" utility, as the user "streamer" (not 
root) like:

screen -dmS ezstream  su -c - streamer 'lame --preset cbr 16 -r -m m -s 8 --scale 1.1 --bitwidth 16 /tmp/outsound/pipe1 - 2>/tmp/stream.status | ezstream -qvc /etc/asterisk/ezstream.xml'


To install the screen program:

pacman -Sy screen

Then, to add the streamer user:

useradd -d /tmp/outsound streamer
