Me too, except that I have some legacy MP3s, and perl's only used for
scheduling (trying to solve the napsack problem) nowadays. Threaded C
is used for playout and mixing. Bringing the news in is a separate set
of processes.

Yes, it's a radio station jukebox waiting for a radio station.

I've also got icecast2 working on another sound card with a simulated
mixing desk output. The streams produced have track titles (not quite
synchronised with the music, as there are crossfades and buffering).
The -q1 16kHz stream could be used as a station log, if I could work
out how to get icecast2 to close and reopen the stream.
