* muse MuSE is an application for the mixing, encoding, and network streaming of sound. MuSE can simultaneously mix up to 6 encoded audio bit-streams (from files or network) plus a souncard input signal. The resulting stream can be played locally on the sound card and/or encoded as an mp3 bit-stream sent to a broadcast server. MuSE offers two intuitive interfaces (graphical and console) to be operated real-time and can also run in command-line mode.
