TS3 Client on a linux dedicated server

[rossmann]

Hello everyone,

our clan got an idea to realize a sound bot which is able to stream some podcasts and news announcements.
To do that, we've thought of installing a TS3 client on our linux dedicated server (currenty, it is Debian Squeeze).

1.) Do you think this is possible with VNC / XServer? If yes, do you have any recommendations how to do that?
2.) How can I emulate one / more sound cards, so that we may let the bot join twice in different channels with different streams / podcasts?

In my conception, I'd like to start a mp3 player then which outputs our mp3s to the simulated soundcard, so the TS3 client can stream it to our server.

I'm happy for every answer.
Thanks in advance!

if your server got a sound card you might be able to get it working, however I don't know of servers having a sound card.

As for applications to emulate stuff, try google.

No, it doesn't get one. The solution should be to use ALSA with snd-dummy which provides basic sound test drivers.
But I'm not very familiar with linux, so I don't think I'm able to do the trick.

I've googled a lot on that topic, but I can't finde someone who wants to do the same.
