I do not know what I am looking at.

It's some sort of server. It seems to serve opus files, but what is the protocol it serves with?

And it also seems to support connecting to irc servers? I am very confused.

The README.md could definitely use some work.

It appears to take a folder of .opus music files and serve some kind of Opus live stream, and it is controllable via IRC (as in, you can tell it to queue or skip songs over IRC). Or at least that's my best guess based on the linked demo instance.

It would certainly benefit from a single line atop the README that clearly stated what this actually does. I certainly don't think of IRC when I think of Internet radio.

Based on the header “Why another one” I would guess what it does is scratch an itch for the author.

Showing my age, but I still get hopeful things with this particular suffix make use of the CueCat somehow. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CueCat

Or you are certainly to young :) Voting songs and the like on shoutcast/icecast stations via irc was not only common for gamers if my memory serves me well from the earliest 2000ths
