This book is designed to be easily accessible to the home Linux user as well as for administrators of large-scale radio or telecommunication networks. The instructions should be easily understandable for those with limited network and Unix experience, but should also prove useful for experienced administrators with a varied background in networking and Linux systems. Emphasis is placed on some pre-existing audio knowledge, but this book helps guide the reader, step-by-step, through the various layers of audio encoding and broadcasting.
