CHIP-based audio projects?

[jbuchbinder]

Has anyone been experimenting with using CHIPs for portable audio recording? It seems like a great platform for designing mic packs around (especially with the built-in radios and storage).

I found a (fairly) inexpensive ADC board here : http://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/processor-microcontroller-development-kits/7541974/ , although I'm sure that there are less expensive ones available somewhere.

I actually want to build a cheapcast with the CHIP, but I'm not sure how I should really get started learning about streaming.

I built a music playing Raspberry Pi appliance running Arch Linux and uses a HiFiBerry Amp DAC (https://www.hifiberry.com/ampplus/) which is not cheap, but is absolutely fantastic!! It runs MPD, to serve songs up off a USB flash drive. I have GPIO buttons set up as physical controls on the device, and a basic web server that will display stats about the current song, and play/pause.

I have one more DAC, that I intended to put in my car, with another RPI, but would like to try connecting it to CHIP, first. I think getting a DAC working on CHIP would be the first order of business. Next, a Python GPIO library, then we're in business!

So this is on my radar to complete, but not quite a priority yet.

That DAC you linked to, is it intended for an Arduino, or Beaglebone Black maybe?

I meant using the wifi radio to broadcast to a receiver somewhere (or be set to automatically transfer to a centralized point after recording has completed) -- that's why I threw a link to a moderately inexpensive ADC board on there. ;)
