Default Web Contolled Receivers (or Internet accessed receivers)

I would also appreciate someone willing to test a
receiver that I have put online; that person must
be willing to install a SIP softphone and set up
a VoIP account (free) if they don't already do VoIP,
and also use a browser that supports java applets.




Why not use Windows Media for that? Far easier for the listeners....



This is a hands-on controllable and tunable receiver, not a web-form
click contrivance. Using WMA, streaming MP3, etc. incurs unacceptable
audio delays that make hands-on tuning unusable. Streaming the audio
with RTP using SDP (or RTSP/RTCP when practicable) removes the
offending latencies for the most part).


Just so you don't think I'm daft, Kenwood employs the same strategy
in streaming audio to their proprietary receiver control software; here
is an excerpt from the TS-480 User Manual:

ARCP-480 is compatible with the
Kenwood Network Command
System, enabling control of the
TS-480 over a network and, using
H.323 (VoIP), making voice
transmission/reception possible.

I don't require installation of any proprietary software, just a VoIP
'phone call'
