Sound an alarm

[Brian Smith]

Yeah, looks like that would also work in place of icecast etc. to send
audio to multiple stations.  

I have one immediate concern about it - it describes itself as the
"audio equivalent of an X server", so that might mean it would be
slightly difficult to get *all* stations to hear the same alerts,
because X seems designed mostly for multiple separate users to get an
individualized network connection to the shared server, not for multiple
users to get the *same* connection to the shared server.  (as with
icecast etc.)

(But, all I read was the first page, so I might not know! :)  Obviously
it's free so wouldn't cost anything but time to try out.)

Wouldn't this work?
