Simple "Audio fortune cookie" Protocol Handler

A simple protocol handler that simply sends the contents of a randomly chosen audio file to the client.

Example Usage

::

>>> SimpleServer(protocol=AudioCookieProtocol, port=1500).run()

On Linux client:

> netcat <server ip> 1500 | aplay -

How does it work?

AudioCookieProtocol creates a ReadFileAdapter and configures it to read the standard output result of running the afortune.pl script, at a fixed rate of 95.2kbit/s.

afortune.pl randomly selects a file and returns its contents.

The ReadFileAdapter's "outbox" outbox is directly wired to pass through to the "outbox" outbox of AudioCookieProtocol.

This component does not terminate.

No EOF/termination indication is given once the end of the file is reached.
