Audio generation and playback decoupled #6

Closed mxlian closed 8 years ago

mxlian commented 8 years ago

The audio generation is an independent process from audio playback.

@sebschmied suggested to get rid of the timestamps in the audio file for the radio (funk) which is kind of annoying. This introduces the danger that if the audio generation fails for some reason, the same audio file will be played over and over again without anyone noticing it.

To fix that, the same routine that generates the audio should play it or handle the error/exception (maybe playing another audio file, see discussion on issue #5)

Any idea how playback is currently handled? I see a cronjob for audio creation, but nothing for playback.

Are you sure you are seeing the right crontab? Is in the system crontab (not user crontab):

You're right. I had checked root's crontab accidentally.
