LineIn Plugin for Winamp2/5: Play External Devices Easily

The LineIn Plugin for Winamp ⁄₅ is an input plugin (in_line.dll) that allows Winamp to capture live external audio from your sound card’s physical inputs (like a microphone, hardware mixer, or instrument) or routing features (like Stereo Mix) and feed it directly into Winamp’s audio pipeline. By routing live audio through Winamp, you can apply real-time DSP effects, view MilkDrop visualizations, and stream live audio to an online radio server when paired with a DSP broadcasting plugin like SHOUTcast or Edcast.
