Liquidsoap is a simple script language allowing one to build audio stream sources from various elementary sources, source combinators and audio outputs. Once the source runs, one can interact with the process through a telnet interface -- a graphical interface is also available. It is mainly intended to be used as an icecast client for internet radios, but could also be used as a weird media player. Since the 0.2.0 release, we fixed more bugs and liquidsoap is getting more and more stable: we now get uptimes of 40 days and counting. But liquidsoap 0.3.0 also has a whole lot of new features and usability improvements, thanks to the interaction with new users. Outputs are now sources like others, allowing multi-output scripts. We added ALSA I/O and MP3 encoding, metadata rewriting, blank detection, shout client source, better interfacing with external programs, transitions, etc. We also started a wiki (http://savonet.sf.net) on which a real documentation has been written, with plenty of examples. This is the place to learn more about our project. A PDF generated from the wiki is also included in the liquidsoap release. The introduction of transitions might be of interest for the caml-list readers, since it came with a new design of the script language. Liquidsoap now has a real tiny functional programming language, with static infered types, and a simple Ruby-like syntax. Functions are useful for conciseness, but also as a mean to specify a transition. The switching source combinators now accept transitions, as functions of type source->source->source, taking the previous and the next source, and building a new one with a transition -- fade, add, many things are possible. Feedback or new ideas would be welcome, and I'd be happy to answer any question. We hope you'll enjoy it. -- David for the Savonet team
