The examples/server/
directory contains a demo server, written in NodeJS. In order to run it, you
will need a functional node install. Once this is done, you can execute npm install
in the server/

and then cake run
and you should be good to go!
Alternatively, a fully functional implementation of the protocol is available in liquidsoap. To test it, you can simply run liquidsoap with the following command line:
liquidsoap "output.ao(fallible=true,audio_to_stereo(input.harbor('mount',port=8080)))"
