I am looking to find one out if DSL can act as a
streaming server in MP3 or Ogg or both (meaning create TWO STREAMS at the
SAME TIME based on the client request, if thats even possible?!?? If XMMS
client request Ogg they get Ogg, if they request MP3 they get MP3, and
there could be a mix of clients getting a mix of Ogg or Mp3,)

Now I am going to throw the monkey wrench in things...

I need it to work on an old Pentium 133MHz 64MB laptop that presently runs
winslease 95 and winslease encoder 4.1.

It needs to work with this ancient laptop, generic 16 bit PCMCIA net card,
built in audio. The laptop is one of the Winbook units that was made under
OEM contract for another generic no name PC company LONG GONE.

I would really prefer that it boots from CD or even better boots from a
floppy (since I have to use Smartbooter on a floppy to get it to boot to
CD) and be able to be left to its own devices. Something like
< http://www.rimboy.com/rimdistro/rimiradio/ > RIMiRadio is nice, but its
ANCIENT and not current or updated in 4 years.

It needs to support at max 10-15 users, which I don't think I really ever
had more than 5-6, but a little room would be nice.

Something with one of the small window managers like XFCE or similar to make
it simple to setup and manage.

Any way to accomplish this in DSL?

Thanks!
