From several sources comes several audio news. Let's start.

From the OBOS Preferences Team Website (which you can reach right here), comes the news of the new MIDI Player for OBOS. It seems Jerome Leveque is working on a test app for the MIDI Kit and it will, in turn, become the OS's MIDI Player. Good work.

From our friends over at LeBuzz, comes the news of BeOS Peer-To-Peer Radio. Here's what they have to say about it:

"Peer-to-peer radio is the next big thing on the BeOS audio horizon, and it's here...right...now. Buzzer Procton has created a very stable relay server that lets people share the load of distributing radio to many listeners. His "Splinter" relay server is already reliably relaying streams at two different bandwidths this very minute for BeOSRADIO.

Even as Splinter grows and matures, another project, a promising new open-source peer-to-peer broadcasting solution called PeerCast, is being ported to BeOS by Buzzer Jeremy Friesner, creater of the popular BeShare chat client. Jeremy tells us he has already gotten it to compile."

Last but not least, they talk about another ongoing project (this one is also known for those who hang on BeShare). It's an MP3 Leveling App. Once again, let me post their news bit:

"Buzzers Bruno "BGA" Albuquerque and François "mmu_man" Revol are hard at work bringing together the tools necessary to do crucial, "lossless" work on MP3 files. Bruno has succeeded in getting a port of "mp3gain" working for BeOS and is working on a graphical interface of it this weekend. François is looking at ways to incorporate both MP3 volume normalization and auto-silence-trimming into the ripper/encoder, Flipside AE."

Nice.. very nice. Like Dane Scott says, this is very important for BeOS. And Flipside A.E. being the great app it is (thank you Jason), would only get better with this addition.
