[campcaster-support] Campcaster in India

Hi,

We are planning to use Campcaster to set up a community-radio station in
India. Some quick questions:

* It appears that the Live Studio Broadcast supports a microphone input
for the DJ that gets broadcasted on air. Is is possible to also record
the voice simultaneously? Or, should something like Audacity be used to
capture the voice? If so, will running both Audacity and Campcaster at
the same time cause any jitter in the broadcast?

* What is the recommended hardware platform in terms of CPU and sound
cards? What FM transmitters are recommended? Most FM transmitters appear
to have a very low transmission power, but we would typically like to
achieve a range of 10-15km. Can you please give some recommendations on
amplification circuits?

* What is the reason that 3 sound cards are needed if we want to do both
live and scheduled broadcast? Is it done only for ease of use, or is
that fewer sound cards result in the two Campcaster applications
interfering with each other? We would ideally like to keep the cost the
equipment as low as possible, and hence use the least number of sound cards.

* Are there any benefits to using an FM PCI card instead of a sound card
+ FM transmitter?

* Is somebody working on integrating a content management system such as
Drupal with Campcaster? We would ideally like to have a single platform
to access information including both RSS feeds for news updates and
audio files for radio broadcast.

* Is somebody working on integrating celliax or some other system with
Campcaster for live interaction with the radio audience through cellular
or landline or Skype dial-in?

Thanks in advance!
