manniru/simplemicstream

Node.js server to stream an USB Mic over HTTP, with an HTML5 <audio> tag for easy listening.

Simple Mic Stream

Simple streaming of an USB Mic via arecord to one client via the html5 tag.

Usage:

Start server, optional port nr as argument (defaults to 9000)

$ node server.js 9090

Go to the server, ie something like http://localhost:9090, with your favorite browser to get an audio player. Just press play. It has a couple of seconds of lag due to buffering, probably browser specific but for me it feels like 2-3s.

You can also open the wav stream directly with with VLC with the url /audio.wav

$ vlc http://loclhost:9090/audio.wav

The server can only support one listener at a time and you need to close the HTTP connection for it to release the mic to someone else, this means closing the tab/browser, not just pressing pause.
