Hi,
I have my DNAS working on my server and want the same machine to run an instance of winamp to broadcast MP3s. The only catch is that my server does not have a sound card and whenever I try to play an mp3 in winamp it gives me the logical error message saying can not find sound card.

Does this mean that I can't broadcast mp3s from the server as well? Don't want to listen to them, but just want to broadcast them. Does anyone know if this is possible?

yep , www.winamp.com --> plugins --> null output plugin
this way winamp is tricked in believing there is a soundcard.
