Heck no! I use it to stream a real-time audio feed of a remotely located
general communication receiver I have (an AOR AR5000+3). I remote control
the radio with software on a virtualized windows XP box at the remote
location. I have a small linux server that the Line-Out audio from the
radio feeds in to the Line-In audio on the sound card on the linux box
(could have done with with a physical windows box too). I run Mumble and
Murmur on the same Linux box. I use vncserver to let me remote connect to
the linux box where I launch the Mumble client, connect to the locally
running murmur server, and then patch the Line-In as the "Audio Input" for
the Mumble client, and set it to "Continuous Talk". I then setup port
forwarding to let me further connect to that same murmur server instance
from one or more locations outside the remote site's firewall (including
my Droid phone). Using Remote Desktop to the virtualized XP, I can fully
remote control the radio software from outside as well. So, essentially, I
have my radio available to me with realtime audio wherever I have a decent
Internet connection (including my phone - wifi connected or no). It has
worked great for me! My next task for the project is a remotely controlled
directional antenna. I keep waiting for a steal of a deal to come along on
eBay for the rotor. :)
