[Asterisk-Users] Streaming channels from Asterisk to the Internet

[Barton Hodges]

Hi folks,

I'm wondering if it is currently possible to configure Asterisk to
forward the conversations from 2 channels into a streaming daemon,
such as Icecast, so that other people connected to the Internet can
listen.

The concept is similar to a radio talk-show.  The show host would
connect to Asterisk via an X100P or through VOIP.  His or her voice
would then be sent to the streaming daemon for those on the Internet
to hear.  The show host would also have control of the other incoming
channels (via a custom web-interface), which would come in via an
X100P or VOIP as well.  The show host and the chosen channel(s) could
have a conversation streamed out to the Internet until the channel is
disconnected by the host.

Any input regarding the feasability of this, and the available
software (such as asterisk-perl) that can be used to accomplish this
would be greatly appreciated.

Barton
