Replying to my own post....always a first time for everything!!
I have found the solution, thanks to Carlos Boni (IT Guru). He suggested a
Virtual cable redirect and it works 100% perfectly. I found and downloaded
Virtual Audio Cable -
http://software.muzychenko.net/eng/vac.html - set up is
kinda straightforward but easy to adjust. Best of all it costs only 21€.
I have been "streaming" 5 distinct test feeds since installing yesterday as
follows;
5 instances of Raduga with 5 different playlists using 5 "Virtual Audio
Cables" - input
5 instances of Windows Media Player connecting to 5 "Virtual Audio Cables"
- output
I can hear each stream on other PC's on my office network, but not in real
time obviously.
At the moment each stream is using one channel only, but this is because I
have selected that option (my working project needs only mono feed) and for
a short time these test feeds will be online if anyone wants to check them out
on
http://81.36.215.171:8082 through 8086.
As I will be tweaking and playlisting there may be short periods when a
particular feed is offline.
